“Per Friday 22nd May, the Jakarta entry permit must already be shown, “

These checkpoints are: Jalan Raya Bekasi, Kolong flyover Cakung; Kalimalang Highway, U-turn TL Lampir; Jalan Raya Simpang UI; Pasar Jumay intersection; Jalan Ciledug Raya, in front of Budi Luhur campus; Joglo Raya, Alfa Park; Central Reef Police Post, Raden Saleh; Kalideres police station; Kamal police station; and Cikarang Barat toll gate and Cikupa toll gate.
Syafrin confirmed that those who could not show an SIKM at any of these 12 checkpoints would be asked to return.
