Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung stated that the Jakarta Provincial Government prioritizes a human approach in addressing brawls in the city.
"Now, the approach is more of a human approach,"
According to him, the number of brawls in Jakarta has significantly decreased because the approach to the groups involved is done discreetly, without public exposure.
"Now, the approach is more of a human approach. Actually, brawls have significantly declined because we engage with those groups without exposing them," he said at Jakarta City Hall courtyard on Friday (11/21).

Therefore, he hopes that the job fairs held in various areas can provide opportunities for these young people to enter the workforce.
“That’s why we organize job fairs in several locations and generally provide opportunities for these groups to work in Jakarta,” he added.
