Seputarkarawang.com - Karawang, The implementation of takbiran night in Karawang Regency, especially along the Bypass route (Jalan Ahmad Yani) to Resinda, has drawn sharp attention due to the shift in religious essence. Based on observations in the field on the night of Eid al-Fitr, the majority of the pick-up vehicle convoys were no longer chanting takbir echoes, but instead playing DJ remix music at high volume. This phenomenon is inversely proportional to the efforts of the Regent of Karawang who is holding an official Bedug Competition to maintain the traditions and solemnity of the community in welcoming Victory Day.The condition of the protocol route is increasingly worrying with the visual discovery of a group of youths carrying out exhibitionist actions on trucks. The individuals were recorded only wearing baby diapers and bare-chested while dancing in the middle of busy traffic. The lack of chanting of Thayyibah sentences from thousands of mobile takbir participants sparked anger among road users. "It's very sad, instead of takbiran, the DJ is playing loud DJ music, plus there are people who are only wearing diapers on the truck. This is insulting the night of takbiran and causing total traffic jams at the Resinda roundabout without any officers to regulate it," complained one of the motorbike riders, Ahmad (32), who was trapped at the location.
The performance of the Karawang Satpol PP in enforcing the Public Order Regional Regulation (Tibum) is now being criticized sharply because it is considered "barren" in carrying out its functions in the field. Thousands of convoy participants who caused total traffic jams at the U-turn in the direction of Resinda were observed to have been left alone without any effort to clear the flow, even though the Karawang Regional Secretary had instructed strict supervision. Until this news was published, the Karawang Satpol PP had not provided an official statement regarding the lack of action and the absence of personnel at this vital point even though confirmation efforts had been made.The community urged the Karawang Regency Government (Pemkab) to evaluate the effectiveness of security at takbiran night to ensure security and social order and the religious dignity of the city. Repressive legal action is needed for individuals who violate public ethics as well as internal sanctions for Satpol PP ranks who are deemed negligent in carrying out their security mandate on the Bypass-Resinda route. Residents hope that there will be concrete steps so that the echo of takbir can again become the main identity in celebrating religious holidays in Karawang without the disturbance of provocative DJ voices.
