The netted PMKS are homeless, street kids, beggars, sex workers, transvestites, lepers, Pak Ogah (unofficial traffic wardens), psychotic (mental disorders), and street singers.

We can secure 5 or 6 PMKS every day

Head of North Jakarta Social Sub-Department, Israk said that those PMKS were netted from Jalan Yos Sudarso, Lodan Ancol junction, Sunter Toll Road, and Jalan Perintis Kemerdekaan. “Every day, we can secure 5 or 6 PMKS,” he explained, Thursday  (4/17).

While for the underage PMKS, he asked the pickup should bring the PM 1 letter, ID card copy, as well as ID card parent copy and statement letter from parent, if they want to redeem their children.

"As many as 7 PMKS were netted yesterday, and 6 other PMKS netted tonight around Jalan Yos Sudarso and Jalan RE Martadinata. Until now, we continue to intensify the raid against PMKS," he revealed.
