        "summary": "During a halalbihalal event in Lebak Regency, Regent Hasbi Asyidiki Jayabaya publicly criticised Deputy Regent Amir Hamzah for overstepping his authority by coordinating with department heads, citing restrictions under Article 66 of Law No. 20 of 2023 on Civil Servants. The tension escalated when Hasbi mocked Amir's past as a convicted inmate in a 2013 election bribery scandal involving former Constitutional Court Chief Akil Mochtar, prompting Amir to stand up in anger, be restrained by officials, and ultimately leave the venue. This incident highlights deepening rifts in local leadership, potentially undermining administrative harmony in the regency.",
        "content": "<p>The Lebak Regency Government held a halalbihalal event with all civil\nservants (ASN). The event ended in tension between Lebak Regent Hasbi\nAsyidiki Jayabaya and Deputy Regent (Wabup) Lebak Amir Hamzah. The\nhalalbihalal activity took place at the Regent\u2019s Pendopo in Lebak on\nMonday (30\/3\/2026). Initially, Hasbi delivered a speech and instructions\nto the ASN to carry out their duties and functions in accordance with\napplicable regulations. Hasbi then discussed the authority of the deputy\nregent\u2019s position, which he believes Amir Hamzah often exceeds by\nmeeting with department heads. Therefore, he said, based on Article 66\nof Law No.\u00a020 of 2023 on ASN, the deputy regent has limitations in\ncoordinating with OPD ranks. \u201cThe deputy regent\u2019s duties under Article\n66 of the ASN Law do not allow the deputy regent to meddle with\ndepartment heads by going to their homes. The article states that if\nauthority is delegated or the regent is unavailable, that is the deputy\nregent\u2019s only task,\u201d Hasbi said in his speech. After that, Hasbi\nrecounted Amir Hamzah\u2019s past when he was once an inmate in the 2013\nelection dispute bribery case. Amir was found to have bribed former\nConstitutional Court (MK) Chief Akil Mochtar. \u201cAt least (it\u2019s better)\nthat a former inmate becomes deputy regent, be grateful,\u201d Hasbi said in\nfront of Amir. In response to that statement, Amir immediately stood up\nfrom his chair and tried to approach Hasbi. The ASN who saw it tried to\nhold Amir back to prevent a commotion. After that, Amir then immediately\nleft the event location.<\/p>",
