Indonesian man named ‘Polisi’ given job at police station after getting ticketed for traffic violation

If you read news about Indonesia from foreign media outlets, you’ve probably come across the disclaimer, “who, like many Indonesians, go by one name” when referring to surname-less citizens. Well, one Indonesian man’s uniquely singular name and equally unusual story has earned him viral fame and even landed him a job that many would say he was destined for since birth.

On November 6, a 22-year-old man from Pasuruan, East Java, was ticketed at a traffic police checkpoint because he was riding his motorcycle without a license. Long story short, a photo showing the ticket and the man’s ID card went viral on social media because it said that the man’s legal name is Polisi (which literally translates to “police”).

Instead of being punished, Polisi quickly became something of a celebrity mascot for the police due to his newfound fame. First, the police issued Polisi a motorcycle license for free (he said he had not been able to afford getting one previously) and then they went on to give their namesake a chance to improve his life in the long term.

Polisi is starting his new job today as an assistant at the Pasuruan Traffic Police Department. The shy man was introduced today in front of all the staff and officers at the department during morning assembly, and he admitted that he was very nervous about his first day.

“I don’t yet understand the workflow here. But I will put in the effort as quickly as possible to adapt. I promise I will try as best as I can,” Polisi said today, as quoted by Tribun.

Pasuruan Traffic Police Department head Erika Purnawa Putra said their employment of Polisi is one way for them to carry out their duty to protect and nurture the public.

“This is a part of our responsibility. We are very happy to be able to help Polisi. Rest assured, we will help Polisi to adapt quickly,” he said.

Before today, Polisi was a construction worker. After his father passed away, Polisi became the breadwinner for his mother and younger sibling.

When asked why he was given the name Polisi, his mother said the name was his father’s idea and there was no particular reason for it.

Of course, Polisi isn’t the only Indonesian to have found viral fame due to their extraordinary names.

Police raid finds liquid meth factory inside West Jakarta nightclub, 120 arrested after testing positive

While drug raids on shady nightclubs in North and West Jakarta happen fairly regularly, a raid on the MG International Nightclub by the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) revealed much more than clubbers testing positive for drugs or even sellers attempting to move vast quantities of illicit product.

In addition to arresting 120 people for testing positive for drug use at the “discotheque” (as nightclubs are still referred to in the Indonesian media) located on Jalan Tubagus Angke in West Jakarta, officers of the narcotics agency also uncovered an entire laboratory on the fourth floor of the building they say was being used to produce methamphetamines. And they say it had been producing drugs on the premises for years.

“From our initial inspection, this discotheque has produced (narcotics) for 2 years,” said Jakarta BNN chief Johny Pol Latupeirissa on Sunday as quoted in a police press release.

Johny said the factory produced a form of liquid methamphetamine sold in plastic water bottles. They said that, in addition to those arrested after testing positive for narcotics, they had also arrested several people suspected of being involved in their production.

“Equipment and materials are large enough that we would classify as a factory used to produce drugs of various kinds,” said BNN prosecutor Anjan Pramuka Putra.

A regional regulation on tourism gives the Jakarta Government the power to unilaterally shot down nightlife venues if narcotics have been found there on more than one occasion. This actually marks the first time that drugs have been found during a raid on MG International (despite long being notorious hotspot for narcotics) but due to a production facility being found on site the government is pushing for its immediate closure and the prosecution of its owners and management.

“So we are firm, it will not just be closed but its permit will be immediately revoked and (its owners and management) immediately processed on criminal charges,” Vice Governor Sandiaga Uno said today as quoted by Tribun.

Many Indonesian politicians and officials have declared that the country is in the midst of a drug emergency. Police have estimated there are around 1.2 million drug users in Jakarta.

Human rights activists have warned that the government’s increasingly hardline rhetoric towards drug criminals has led to an increase in police shootings this year.

Tourism Minister Arief Yahya has announced that in an effort to boost tourist arrivals during the year-end holiday season, discounts of up to 50 percent would be offered to tourists visiting Bali.

“Discounts of between 40 to 50 percent will be offered,” Arief said in Denpasar on Monday after attending a meeting with Bali tourism stakeholders.

The discount policy is part of an effort to boost tourist arrivals to Bali, particularly during the New Year's Eye festivities, after foreign and domestic tourists have shown reluctance to visit the resort island in light of the volcanic activity of Mount Agung.

The discounts would be given to both domestic and foreign tourists, said Arief, adding that the government allocated Rp 100 billion (US$7 million) to intensify the promotion of the Bali tourism industry.

This year, the government targeted 6 million foreign tourist arrivals to Bali, however Arief projected that figure would only reach 5.5 million because of the ongoing volcanic activity.

He said the number of tourist arrivals had reached 5 million as of October.

Next year, he added, the government targeted 7 million foreign tourist arrivals to Bali.

While the government’s bribery eradication drive has been highly publicized in recent years, few Indonesians would be surprised if a traffic police officer still asked them for a bribe in lieu of a fine for committing a traffic violation.

One such incident was caught in a video that has since gone viral over the past week. Recorded in mid-November in Semarang, Central Java, the discreetly taken video shows a traffic police officer bringing a couple of motorcyclists over to a police car so that he can write them tickets.

The officer then explains to one motorcyclist that he will be fined IDR1.5 million (US$110.50) for carrying an expired driver’s license (the actual fine for not carrying a valid license, according to Laws on Traffic and Road Vehicles, is IDR1 million). He then tells them that he would accept a payment amounting to half of the fine and then he wouldn’t have to write up the ticket.

After some negotiating, the cop can be seen receiving several IDR100,000 notes from the offender.

A spokesperson for the Central Java Police apologized for the bribery solicitation shown in the video and said that the officer, identified by his initial A, is currently being investigated internally and may be sent to jail.

“We’re trying to fix all aspects (of the force) but there are still those who are playing around like that,” said Central Java Traffic Police Director Baharuddin, as quoted by Liputan 6 yesterday.

Of course, bad apples like officer A do not represent every police officer in Indonesia. That said, the reputation of Indonesian police as a whole would be a lot better if there were more people like officer Seladi from Malang, who won the nation’s hearts by choosing to scavenge trash as a side job rather than accept bribes.

Over the past week, two disturbing videos allegedly showing statutory rape by an adult woman on two elementary school boys went viral on social media in Indonesia, prompting a widely publicized investigation by the police.

According to media reports, one of the videos shows the woman having sex with an underage boy, while the other shows her having sex with the same boy as well as another boy.

Sundanese — the native language for the majority of West Javans — was spoken in both videos, prompting the West Java Police to take the lead in the investigation. Today, they announced their initial findings of their investigation of the videos, which they believe were taken just a couple of months ago in the West Java capital city of Bandung.


“We predict (they were shot) in November. Certainly (the videos) were not made in December,” said West Java Police Chief Inspector General Agung Budi Maryoto, as quoted by Detik today.

The identities of the people in the videos have not yet been identified, but the police have located the two hotels in which the videos were shot and have questioned their employees.

“Usually people checking in (to hotels) leave their KTP IDs. We will look into it,” Agung said.

Though there have been no arrests so far, it’s likely that the woman, or any other adults who may have been involved in the production of the videos, would be charged with sexual abuse of minors under Indonesia’s child protection laws, which is punishable by up to 15 years in prison. They could also possibly be charged with as violation of Indonesia’s strict anti-pornography laws.

The police have not identified who originally posted the videos online. We hope nobody would download or continue sharing the videos on moral grounds, but if anybody needs convincing, the IT Ministry reminded the public that the simple act of sharing the videos online is a violation of the Information and Electronic Transactions Act (UU ITE) and is punishable by up to four years’ imprisonment.
