Unoptimal Security, Monas Jakarta Fair Closed

Acting Jakarta Governor, Basuki 'Ahok' T Purnama, admitted he was disappointed with the implementation of the Monas Jakarta Fair (PRJ) which leaves a lot of trashes and street vendors (PKL). Therefore, in future, the event will not be held again.

The event must be stopped, and will be moved to the city (region). We already discussed it

The former regent of East Belitung said many things that have to be evaluated. The event is like a night market. This is because many street vendors enter to the Monas area, whereas it should be sterile. 

Basuki also emphasizes coordination between regional working units (SKPD) is unoptimal in term of security sector. "The event must be stopped, and will be moved to the city (region). We already discussed it," he stressed, Saturday (6/28).

Monas Jakarta Fair Visitors Complained Parking Fee

He continued Industry and Energy Department should be able to learn from some events, such as World Heritage Festival, which is also held at the Monas. In the implementation for three days, the event is sterile from street vendors. Another activity used as an example is the Street Vendor Night Market on Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan every Saturday evening.

"There has been a successful activity, and should be an example. That is how to sterilize the event from street vendors or by imposing non-cash system that imposed in the street vendor Night Market," he stated.

Besides stopping the Monas Jakarta Fair, the event committee which was previously managed by Industry and Energy Department will also be taken over by Jakarta Small and Medium Enterprises Cooperatives Department (KUMKMP). "The concept is good, that's why we would move it in each city," he revealed.

Chairman of Monas Jakarta Fair Committee, Muhammad Haris Pindratno stated free entrance ticket has triggered street vendors set up their stalls in Monas. They are coordinated, and generally come from Cirebon and Karawang areas. Unfortunately, his side cannot do much on this matter.

"The event was crowded by street vendors, because they know it is free of charge. Indeed, our security system is unoptimal due to lack of personnel," admitted Pindratno, who also serves as Head of Industry and Energy Department.
