Viral on social media video clips showed a red plated car emitting thick enough smoke from the exhaust of its vehicle while crossing Jalan Mampang Prapatan Raya, Tegal Parang, South Jakarta.

This has become the talk of netizens on social media. Many admitted that they were surprised because the government was intensifying the prevention of air pollution, while this state-owned car actually contributed to pollution.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Manpower, Transmigration and Energy Agency (Disnakertransgi) Hari Nugroho admitted that the car belonged to the agency. Hari admitted that the car was actually going to the repair shop to be repaired.

"Yes, it's a car from the Central Jakarta Manpower Sub-dept. It left the office and was on its way to the workshop because it was damaged," Hari said when contacted, Monday, September 11.

Hari said that his subordinates would only repair the Nissan Navara car before an emission test was finally carried out as an effort to reduce air pollution.

"The car will be repaired first. As soon as it has been repaired, good, then the emission will be tested," said Hari.

However, Hari emphasized that his subordinates remained guilty because they did not pay attention to the vehicle engine and let the state-owned car emit smoke when operated.

"Old or new cars, if they are treated regularly, it certainly doesn't cause that," he said.

Mampang Police Chief, Commissioner David Yunior Kanito previously said that his party had checked the vehicle that emitted smoke.

I'm currently checking. I'm coordinating and confirm which agency owns the car," David said when confirmed.

David also said that his party had coordinated with the DKI Jakarta Government to identify the vehicle.

"That's right (coordinate with the Satlantas and DKI Jakarta Provincial Government," he said.

Furthermore, David, after being identified, the vehicle that emitted a thick concept on the exhaust. Later, an emission test will be carried out, in order to prevent air pollution.

"If it is certain, the Mampang Police Chief and the Head of Traffic Police will communicate and coordinate with the agency so that the vehicle is immediately tested for emissions and does not add pollution in Jakarta," he said.
