Jakarta, KOMPAS.com \u2013 Public Policy analyst from Trisakti University,\nTrubus Rahadiansyah, has revealed a potential loophole in the management\nof nightclubs, namely the use of a scheme to change the company name or\n\u201cganti nama PT\u201d, which is considered to allow businesses to re-operate\neven if they have been previously sanctioned.<\/p>\n
According to him, this practice is at risk of occurring if\nenforcement only targets operational permits without tracing the\nmanagers or actual owners behind the nightclub business.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd they shouldn\u2019t outsmart the system by changing the company name,\neven though the people are still the same. Sometimes it\u2019s just a \u2018change\nof clothes\u2019, but the perpetrators are still the same in the nightclub,\u201d\nsaid Trubus to Kompas.com via telephone, Friday (15\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they just change clothes, will they operate again, and will a\npermit be issued again? That\u2019s the problem, so who are these people, and\nwhat are their connections?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Trubus emphasized the importance of local governments, especially the\nDepartment of Tourism and Creative Economy (Disparekraf) of DKI Jakarta,\nto thoroughly investigate the ownership structure of nightclub\nbusinesses from the beginning of the licensing process.<\/p>\n
According to him, the actual company ownership data can be traced so\nthat there is no reason for weak supervision of the same business\nactors.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why Disparekraf must investigate thoroughly, don\u2019t just turn\na blind eye. If that happens, it will be problematic. In fact, from the\nbeginning, it is already known who owns this company, and it can be\nchecked,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt must be fair so that it is not discriminatory,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Previously, supervision of nightclubs in Jakarta was again in the\nspotlight after the raid on two nightclubs in West Jakarta, namely\nB-Fashion and The Seven, which were allegedly involved in drug\ntrafficking.<\/p>\n
This incident has again raised public attention to the effectiveness\nof local government supervision in preventing repeated violations in the\nnightlife sector.<\/p>\n
One of the raids was carried out at Karaoke B-Fashion, which is\nlocated in the Grogol Petamburan area, West Jakarta, regarding alleged\ndrug transactions and abuse.<\/p>\n
The Head of the Tourism Industry Section of the West Jakarta Tourism\nand Creative Economy Sub-department, Gun Gun Mujiantara, confirmed the\nraid.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/analyst-reveals-loopholes-in-nightclub-management-raising-concerns-over-potential-re-operation-after-1780583607", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
