JAKARTA - Commission III of the DPR also highlighted the phenomenon of Citayam Fashion Week (CFW) which was held in Sudirman, Jakarta. It is known, Citayem Fashion Week (CFW) is an event for teenagers from the Citayam, Bojong Gede, and Depok areas to show off their fashion styles in the Sudirman area, Central Jakarta. Zebra cross in the area functioned as a catwalk for teenagers.
However, the actions of these teenagers often cause traffic jams in the area, because it is not uncommon for ABGs to gather and watch this CFW spill out onto the streets. It is also often seen that motorcyclists and cars have to queue to pass the zebra crossing in the area.
In fact, at this time the police have started to disperse the teenagers who 'hang out' in the area. The police also stated that the fashion show activity violated the Road Traffic and Transportation Law. So, should it be disbanded?
A member of Commission III of the DPR from the PPP faction, Arsul Sani, assessed that this activity did not need to be forcibly disbanded by the police. However, it is enough to use a persuasive approach if it is considered to have interfered with the public interest.
"I don't think CFW should be banned, what is needed is a persuasive-humanist approach to youth and community members who are experiencing CFW fever," said Arsul to VOI, Monday, July 25.
The Deputy Chairperson of the MPR said the persuasive approach was more of an appeal for orderly activities. For example, maintaining cleanliness and not crowding and making noise.
"The related approach is so that their activities are in an orderly manner, not neglecting the prokes and sticking to the rules governing people gathering, such as the time for disbanding, cleanliness and others," he said.
Arsul admitted that the Citayam Fashion Week activity violated the Traffic and Road Transportation Law because it was held at Zebra Cross. However, according to him, the activity cannot be seen from a legal perspective, but must also be viewed from a sociological perspective. That, society also needs a space of expression.
"From a juridical perspective, of course, the opinion that says it violates the law, in this case the Road Law and Traffic Law, is true. But in my opinion, we also don't just look at CFW only from a legal perspective. We need to be wiser by looking at it. a sociological perspective on the need for a space for expression. So this needs to be mitigated between the law and the sociological side," explained Arsul.
According to the PPP Deputy, Citayam Fashion Week, which started with teenagers who are members of 'SCBD' alias Sudirman, Citayam, Bojong Gede and Depok, is a positive thing. Because the ABG can channel creativity and expression that still has a positive impact.
Arsul even considered that CFW's actions were more able to unite people from various circles than political actions.
"CFW is actually a positive articulation of expression, because they carry out activities that are more social in nature and can be a means of uniting the community than those who express certain political attitudes, for example," said Arsul.
In line with Arsul, member of Commission III of the House of Representatives from the NasDem faction, Eva Yuliana, assessed that CFW is part of a creative community action that does not need to be disbanded as long as it does not violate the rules and disturb public order.
"In my opinion it is a creativity of the nation's children which can then be enjoyed by the CFW community. As long as it does not interfere with public facilities, why should it be disbanded. And as long as it does not violate the rules and disrupt traffic," Eva told VOI, Monday, 25 July.
Instead, he continued, the creative activities that started from the young people of 'SCBD' alias Sudirman, Citayam, Bojong Gede and Depok must be supported in order to develop even better. Of course, in a positive direction.
"This means that as long as the issue of public facilities can still be regulated and does not interfere with the rules, why not encourage it? Therefore, creativity must be appreciated and must be encouraged so that it can develop better," said Eva.
However, the NasDem legislator for the Central Java electoral district agreed that events such as Citayam Fashion Week would be disbanded if they violated the Traffic Law. Moreover, CFW has sparked other regions to follow this trend.
"Unless it is done in places that interfere with traffic, interfere with the public interest, interfere with road users who are entitled to use the road and in accordance with the traffic law, when it interferes, it must be disbanded," said Eva.
If so, the NasDem politician assessed that the government needs to find a more orderly space or place to accommodate the creativity and existence of the youth.
"And even if you need space for the existence of such fashion, you must find a space or place that does not interfere with road users," said Eva.
