Increasing Legal Awareness, Bandung City Government Holds Integrated Legal Counseling
In order to increase public legal awareness in order to create a Legally Aware Family or Subdistrict condition (Kadarkum), the Bandung City Government (Pemkot) is holding Integrated Legal Counseling (Luhkumdu) activities in a number of subdistricts.
The second Luhkumdu event was held in Kebon Pisang Village, Sumur Bandung District, Friday 8 March 2024.
Head of Sumur Bandung Subdistrict, Wahyu Rinjaningsih, explained that human life is not free from problems, one of which is legal problems.
"Human life is certainly not free from problems, one of which is legal problems," he said during his opening remarks.
Wahyu said that Kebon Pisang Village has the largest number of residents in Sumur Bandung District. So there is the potential for problems to arise.
"Because the number of residents in Kebon Pisang Subdistrict is the largest, it is very appropriate to hold Integrated Legal Counseling," he said.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Legal Aid Facilitation Team in the Bandung City Legal Department, Puja Suryaningrat, explained that this activity was an effort by the Bandung City Government to increase public and apparatus understanding of statutory regulations and the implementation of positive law.
"This is in accordance with the direction of development policy which places law in the main position in order to create awareness and legal compliance in society," he said in his speech representing the Assistant for Government and Welfare, Asep Saeful Gufron.
According to him, legal order from all stakeholders, including government, society and the private sector, is one of the criteria for achieving the success of the vision and mission of the City of Bandung which is superior, comfortable, prosperous and religious.
"The city of Bandung must be used as a model city as a law-aware city," he said.
He hopes that all Luhkumdu participants can play an active role because the outreach process includes dialogue so that they can have two-way interaction.
On this occasion, a number of speakers were present. Among them, Head of the Bandung Police Binmas Unit, AKBP Sutori, Bandung City Religious Court Judge, Kamaludin, Head of Bandung City BPN PPS, Bambang Saputro and Head of North PBB UPT, Dadang.
It is known that the first Luhkumdu event was held in Pasteur Village, Sukajadi District, Friday 23 February 2024. (ziz)**
