Head of Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Department, Edison Sianturi admitted he was upset when spotted the suspects opening service in a room of Population and Civil Registration's Unit Counseling, on the sidelines of sudden inspection (sidak) to Penjaringan Urban Village. Whereas, the service is only allowed through the PTSP counter.
