Traffic Police Campaign Mudik Song ‘Tertib Ojo Kesusu’, Residents Say Message Easy to Remember

• Special

Jakarta, VIVA – The head of the Indonesian National Police’s Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas), Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho, is promoting Lebaran mudik safety through a song titled ‘Mudik Tertib Ojo Kesusu’. The song is a form of socialisation to encourage people not to hurry while driving and to remain orderly on the road; road safety is not only important when departing but also when returning.

A number of residents have praised the police’s road-safety socialisation campaign during the Lebaran mudik period 2026.

This is because the anticipated surge in mudik traffic for Lebaran 2026 is projected to reach around 3.5 million vehicles leaving Jakarta.

Wina (35), a resident of Kalibata, South Jakarta, commended the campaign and said the song ‘Mudik Tertib Ojo Kesusu’ is a welcome initiative. She said the message not to hurry while driving is very relevant for travellers, including herself, who will be mudik to Solo by car.

‘In my opinion, it’s really good; the song is easy listening, so it’s easy to remember. The lyrics exhort the public that safety during the journey is the top priority,’ Wina said.

Brendy (30), a private-sector worker who plans to mudik to Surabaya by car with his family, likewise said the mudik-safety campaign song has a strong, memorable message.

Moreover, Brendy added, the song is easy for people of all ages to listen to.

‘The song is pleasant to listen to and easy to sing along with. It’s ideal to accompany our mudik journey. The line ’Ojo Kesusu’ is the one I remember most. So to me the message is very strong: be patient and focus on safety for travellers. Especially since we will be mudik to our hometown, the song’s message is highly relevant to people who are going home,’ Brendy said.

Windi (27), a resident of Taman Sari, West Jakarta, said the mudik-safety campaign via the song ‘Mudik Tertib Ojo Kesusu’ is very appropriate.

According to Windi, many motorists tend to hurry during mudik, though long journeys require caution so everyone can reach their destination safely.

‘The song is pleasant to accompany the mudik journey and it doesn’t make you sleepy. The mudik safety socialisation via song is very appropriate. With a song, the public can easily remember the police’s exhortations. With a song, the public becomes more aware to travel in an orderly manner, because mudik is a once-yearly moment when millions return home by private vehicle or public transport,’ Windi, who will mudik to Purwokerto, said.
