        "summary": "A Jakarta DPRD legislator has declared the capital's parking problems a governance emergency, criticising weak oversight by the Parking Management Unit, rampant illegal parking, revenue leakages, and cash-based payments that enable extortion. He calls for a complete shift to 100% non-cash payments via digital methods like QRIS and integrated apps to curb losses to local revenues and enhance transparency. Drawing examples from Singapore, South Korea, the Netherlands, Germany, and New Zealand, he advocates for modern digital systems and strict enforcement to optimise parking management and public services.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta must boldly implement 100% non-cash parking payments. Jakarta\n(ANTARA) - Member of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Hardiyanto Kenneth, assesses\nthat the parking issues in the capital have reached an emergency stage\nin governance and can no longer be considered merely technical problems\nin the field. Kenneth highlights the weak supervision of the Parking\nManagement Unit (UP) Perparkiran, the prevalence of illegal parking,\nleakages in regional revenue, and the cash payment system, which is seen\nas a loophole for extortion practices. \u201cThis is no longer a small issue.\nThe chaos in Jakarta\u2019s parking has reached an emergency level. I see\nserious problems in supervision, transparency, and the effectiveness of\nthe UPT Parkir\u2019s work,\u201d said Kenneth in Jakarta on Sunday. The member of\nCommission C of the DKI Jakarta DPRD even questions the performance of\nthe UPT Parkir, which is deemed unable to provide service certainty to\nthe public or optimise Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD). If necessary, he\ncontinued, there should be a transparent and open re-tendering for\noperators deemed to have failed in running the parking system\nprofessionally. \u201cI seriously question, for whom is the UPT Parkir\nactually working? Because the public is still forced to face unofficial\nparking fees at almost every point. Parking levies are never optimal,\nwhile in the field, there is an impression of systematic neglect,\u201d he\nstated. Kenneth also calls for a comprehensive audit of the electronic\nparking system, official parking points, and the flow of parking levy\nrevenues, which have long been questioned by the public. \u201cThere should\nbe no more cash transactions. As long as cash money still circulates in\nthe parking system, PAD leakages will continue to occur. Jakarta must\ndare to implement 100% non-cash parking payments through QRIS,\nelectronic cards, or digital applications that are directly integrated\nwith the government system,\u201d he emphasised. Furthermore, Kenneth\nmentions that many countries have successfully implemented modern\ndigital-based parking systems, such as Singapore, which uses an\nintegrated Electronic Parking System (EPS) that is fully digital and\nnon-cash. He also cites South Korea\u2019s success in implementing smart\nparking based on sensors and real-time applications. Then, there are the\nNetherlands and Germany, which have successfully reduced parking revenue\nleakages through electronic systems and strict supervision. \u201cThey use\nsmart parking systems and strict supervision of on-street parking.\nEuropean countries also implement high parking tariffs to regulate land\nuse in city centres. Like in New Zealand, they are known for transparent\nparking management, where parking revenues are reallocated for public\nservices and use a non-cash payment system,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
