As many as 87 people with social welfare issues (PMKS) are netted by South Jakarta Social Sub-Department along fasting month of Ramadan. They consist of 25 beggars, 18 bums, 14 psychotics, as well as street singers, 3-in-1 jockeys, illegal parking attendants, and displaced people.

Until now, we have netted 87 PMKS. They are netted from the raid held in 10 sub-districts

“Until now, we have netted 87 PMKS. They are netted from the raid held in 10 sub-districts,” stated Head of South Jakarta Social Sub-Department, Miftahul Huda, Friday (7/11).

According to Huda, this amount decreases for about 10 percent from the same period in Ramadan last year where 95 PMKS netted. Even so, his party is still in high alert to anticipate the possibility of PMKS flocking the capital city.

“Although in these two weeks the amount of PMKS relatively declining, we’re still anticipating for the possibility of PMKS attack from outside Jakarta seven days before Eid ul FItr,” he uttered.

Huda told that 50 personnel are put on standby round the clock to guard the locations that are prone to PMKS presence.

“They are divided in three shifts. We’re also coordinating with Satpol PP in case we need extra power,” he told.
