progresfjaya.id, SERANG – Efforts to clean up the control of illegal levies (pungli) and SIM brokers at Serang City Police Station seem warm chicken shit. When the cleanup season arrives, supervision is tightened and the brokers who extort are arrested. When the free and quiet season arrives, the brokers seem to have a windfall to practice extortion in SIM administration.
The informant progresifjaya.id in Serang clearly stated the results of his investigation at the location some time ago. He said that the extortion practices of SIM brokers at Serang City Police Station have recently seemed to be mushrooming. The extortion system is carried out by selling SIM shooting services. The brokers seem to have no difficulty in capturing consumers in this system. The convenience of getting a new SIM quickly without having to take a written and practical exam is the most attractive promo for capturing consumers.
A resident with the initials DD who was met by progresifjaya.id at the location said that the price offered for SIM nembak is indeed much more expensive than the official rate for a new SIM. If the official rate for making a SIM C is set at IDR 100,000, for SIM nembak at the Serang City Police SIM Satpas, the price skyrockets to IDR 800,000.
He explained that the SIM nembak process is easy to obtain because there are insiders who serve the administration of this fast system through ‘side channels.’
“I took care of it through insiders. I have taken care of it three times through insiders. Just give the money, we wait a few hours for the SIM to be ready. No need to take the test again,” he said, Tuesday, (11/27/2024).
In addition to direct monitoring on land, the existence of brokers and extortionists at the Serang City Police SIM Satpas is also visible on social media. There are many netizen comments on the social media page. Many are interested in joining because they feel pessimistic about passing the test to get a SIM.
“As long as the SIM can be issued, we want it,” said one netizen.
“If you are interested, continue to WA chat,” replied the info poster.’I don’t know if this service is official or not. What is clear is that this is the only way you can get a SIM. Don’t expect it through the test. It’s difficult, boss,” said another netizen commenting.
The informant progresifjaya.id then casually asked about the cost of processing a new SIM. And the info poster immediately answered that he was close to an insider at the Serang City Police SIM Satpas.
“The cost is eight hundred thousand rupiah, the SIM is ready immediately, boss,” he said again.
When this news was broadcast, progresifnya.id had not been able to confirm the news info with the Head of Traffic Police of Serang City Police, AKP Gesit Febriyatmoko.
