As many as 15 PKL stalls on several protocol roads in Tebet, South Jakarta were controlled by Satpol PP personnel, Wednesday (11/16).

The controlling was already held three or four days ago, but they are never afraid of us

Tebet Sub-district Head, Mahludin, said personnel controlled the stalls on Jalan Tebet Timur Raya, Jalan Abdullah Syafe’i or around Tebet Station, and Jalan Tebet Timur Dalam II. According to him, PKL will go back selling their goods after being controlled several days before.

“The controlling was already held three or four days ago, but they are never afraid of us,” he said.

Moreover, mostly the PKLs have no Jakarta ID card even though they have lived here since long time ago. They also selling their goods until night. It triggers illegal parking and traffic jam.

“They leave their properties on the channel and public facilities. Their properties were controlled and taken to Satpol PP warehouse in Kebayoran Lama,” he closed.
