"We don’t want thuggery to make people feel unsafe in their daily lives. We want the public to go about their activities without fear—day or night," Chief  Sigit said at the INP Headquarters on Wednesday (28/5/2025), as quoted by antara news.com.

He added that the police will continue to take firm action against individuals or groups that disturb public order, regardless of their affiliation or symbols. Law enforcement will be applied equally to all.
