        "content": "<p>The KPK sealed a private salon and a restaurant in Pekalongan as well\nas several cars at the residence of Pekalongan Regent Fadia Arafiq in\nconnection with an ongoing graft investigation. The Commission, after\nconducting an arrest operation on Tuesday 3 March, also sealed nine\noffices within the Pekalongan Regency Government: the Regent\u2019s Office,\nthe Secretary to the Regency, the General Affairs Office, the Economic\nOffice, Prokopim, Satpol PP, Dingkop and UKM, DPU Taru, and Dinperkim\nLingkungan Hidup. The anti\u2011corruption agency also posted sealing\nstickers on the doors of a private salon business owned by Fadia Arafiq,\nnamed Bigboss Salon in Nyamok Village, Kajen District, Pekalongan, and a\nrestaurant with the same name appeared closed although no KPK sealing\nsticker was observed. Sealing was also seen on six cars belonging to the\nRegent parked at the official residence; two of them are electric cars\nalleged to be connected to the case being handled by the KPK. Meanwhile,\nafter questioning since this morning at Pekalongan Kota Police, KPK also\narrested 11 officials within the Pekalongan Regency Government and the\nprivate sector. They were transported by a bus to the Red and White\nbuilding in Jakarta for further questioning, including: 1. M Yulian\nAkbar, Secretary to the Pekalongan Regency 2. Budi Rahmulyo, Camat\nKaranganyar 3. Dr Ryan, Acting Director of Kesesi Regional Public\nHospital (RSUD Kesesi) 4. Nuryadi, Head of the Hygiene and Planting\nDivision, Diprekim LH Tahun 2023 5. Herman, Head of the General Affairs\nSection of the Setda Pekalongan Regency. The Pekalongan OTT raises\nquestions, especially about myths and beliefs among Pantura residents of\nCentral Java. The myth says no regent can complete two full consecutive\nterms in Batik City. With Fadia Arafiq\u2019s arrest on 3 March, the myth has\nbeen reinforced. It is undeniable that those caught in KPK operations\ntypically become suspects and, under the rules, officials must resign or\nbe dismissed. Meanwhile, during campaigning, Fadia Arafiq used slogans\nOra Njanjeni (not promising), Ora Ngapusi (not deceiving), and Ora\nKorupsi (not corrupt). After being elected to a second term, she was\nseen as someone who could break the myth. Yet, exactly one year after\nher second term began, she was caught in the covert KPK operation. The\nfollowing is a list of Pekalongan Regents since 2001 believed to have\nfallen victim to the myth: 1. Amat Antono (2001\u20132006) 2. Siti Qomariyah\n(2006\u20132011) 3. Amat Antono (2011\u20132016) not directly connected to two\nconsecutive terms. 4. Asip Kholbihi (2016\u20132021) 5. Fadia Arafiq\n(2021\u20132024) first term 6. Fadia Arafiq (2025\u20132030) second term, only one\nyear in, captured by the KPK. (AS\/E-4) Zaenur also criticises the\ninternal condition of political parties as among the least democratic in\nIndonesia\u2019s democratic system. Central Java Governor Ahmad Luthfi says\nthe Pekalongan Regent\u2019s OTT should be a lesson for regional leaders\nacross Central Java and has urged all local heads to maintain integrity\nand adhere to the law. The arrest of Pekalongan Regent Fadia Arafiq by\nthe KPK, along with attention on her asset declarations in the LHKPN,\nhas drawn public focus.<\/p>",
