Singkawang, 5 May 2025 - In an effort to reduce illegal racing that is increasingly prevalent on a number of roads in Singkawang, the Mayor of Singkawang, Mr. Tjhai Chui Mie, revealed his plan to send children involved in illegal racing to barracks as part of a rehabilitation program.
This step was taken in response to complaints from the community who were concerned about safety, order and the negative impact of illegal racing. According to the Mayor of Singkawang, this action is not merely to punish, but to provide education and guidance to perpetrators, especially young people who have fallen into the culture of wild racing.
“We took this step as a form of the seriousness of the Singkawang City Government to curb illegal racing,” Tjhai Chui Mie told reporters, Monday (5/5/2025).
In this program, underage perpetrators of illegal racing will be sent to barracks to undergo a coaching program that includes physical training, technical skills, as well as mental education and discipline. The program is expected to reduce teenagers' interest in illegal racing and guide them to a more positive path.
However, this plan has received mixed responses from the community. Some residents appreciate this decisive step, while others hope for a more preventive approach through education and awareness campaigns.
The Singkawang City Government is committed to continue working with the police and educational institutions to monitor the progress of this program and ensure that children involved in illegal racing get the opportunity to change and develop better.
It is hoped that with this program, Singkawang can reduce the phenomenon of illegal racing and create a safer environment and support the development of a more productive young generation.
