        "summary": "The East Jakarta City Government has constructed a boxing arena and skateboard facility under the Pasar Rebo flyover to provide positive outlets for youth energy and prevent street brawls among teenagers. Mayor Munjirin stated that the initiative aims to channel young people's talents into sports, with the facilities set to be inaugurated on 12 May. Local officials hope these public spaces will foster community engagement, ensure proper management, and potentially produce national and international athletes.",
        "content": "<p>The East Jakarta City Government (Pemkot Jaktim) is building a boxing\narena under the Pasar Rebo flyover. The arena is intended to allow the\nyounger generation to channel their energy into sports and stay away\nfrom brawls. \u201cThe area will later be equipped with a boxing arena, which\nis expected to serve as a place for children and teenagers to channel\ntheir talents and energy in a positive direction rather than engaging in\nbrawls,\u201d said East Jakarta Mayor Munjirin, as reported by Antara on\nThursday (7\/5\/2026). The boxing facility, located under the Pasar Rebo\nflyover in Susukan Ward, Ciracas Subdistrict, is hoped to become a\ncontainer and public space to prevent brawls among teenagers. In\naddition to the boxing facility, a skateboard park is being built under\nthe Pasar Rebo flyover. These positive activity facilities for the\ncommunity, especially teenagers, are planned to be inaugurated on 12\nMay. Boxing and Skateboard Arena to Curb Brawls Meanwhile, Ciracas\nSubdistrict Head Panangaran Ritonga said that the arrangement of the\narea is a direct instruction from the East Jakarta Mayor to make the\nspace under the Pasar Rebo flyover neater, more comfortable, and usable\nby the public. \u201cFirst, the Mayor asked us to carry out activities to\ntidy up the area around the Pasar Rebo flyover in Susukan Ward, Ciracas\nSubdistrict,\u201d said Ritonga. \u201cThere is a boxing activity, a boxing ring,\nwhich we hope will be inaugurated directly by the Governor. We certainly\nwant to welcome his presence with a neater and more appropriate area\ncondition,\u201d he added. He explained that the tidying process involves\nrepainting several facilities and surrounding areas because the previous\ncondition looked dull due to dust and faded paint. \u201cThe condition is\nindeed due to dust, and the old paint has faded, so we are repainting to\nmake it cleaner and more attractive,\u201d said Ritonga. He hopes that the\nexistence of the boxing facility can become a solution to reduce brawl\nactions that often involve teenagers. Sports facilities like this can\nalso serve as positive containers to direct youth energy. \u201cRather than\nbrawling, it\u2019s better for their energy to be channelled in sports\narenas. So this area becomes a public space for the community to enjoy\nfacilities while channelling their hobbies and talents,\u201d he explained.\nRegarding Arena Management In its management, the subdistrict will\ninvolve local elements such as neighbourhood associations (RT, RW) and\ncommunity protection units (LMK) as supervisors. The main responsibility\nlies at the ward level. The arena management will be handled by parties\nthat regulate usage schedules, training activities, and matches. \u201cWe\nwill formalise the management to ensure the sustainability of these\nfacility infrastructures. So it\u2019s not open for anyone to play freely,\nbut there is a manager who regulates match and sports schedules,\u201d said\nRitonga. Each sports branch will have management representatives to\nensure all activities remain coordinated with the surrounding\nenvironment, including if there are events requiring police permits for\ncrowds. The government also hopes that the area under the Pasar Rebo\nflyover remains clean and beautiful, providing positive impacts for the\nsurrounding environment. \u201cWe hope that this boxing and skateboard\nfacility can encourage people to engage in sports. Hopefully, athletes\nwill emerge who can reach national and even international levels and\nbring honour to Indonesia,\u201d said Ritonga.<\/p>",
