West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi Firmly Enforces Rules

 Dedi Mulyadi is known as a figure who is firm in enforcing the rules, a character that is reflected in his various policies and actions during his career in politics.

As a former Regent of Purwakarta for two terms (2008-2018) and now serving as Governor of West Java (2025-2030), he often shows a tough approach to regulatory violations, both at the local and regional levels.

The General Chairperson of the DPP PWRI, Suriyanto, assessed that the steps taken by the Governor of West Java, Dedi Mulyadi, in enforcing the rules and providing solutions, are the attitudes of a leader that must be appreciated and supported.

"Kang Dedi is a firm leader and we must support him. This is a figure of a future leader, daring to enforce the rules, providing solutions, with a humanistic approach," said Suriyanto, Saturday [3/29/2025]

One example of his firmness was seen when he served as Regent of Purwakarta. Dedi's firmness was also seen in handling environmental violations. In 2022, he scolded the owner of a chicken farm in Purwakarta who violated the rules by operating in a green area, refusing to compromise even though he was asked to meet. He emphasized that regulations are non-negotiable, especially when it comes to public interests such as preserving water sources," said Suriyanto.

Not only that, added Suriyanto, as Governor of West Java, Dedi ordered the demolition of the Hibisc Fantasy amusement park in Puncak, Bogor, in March 2025, because it was considered to have violated spatial planning and had the potential to trigger flash floods.

Suriyanto said that Dedi is also known for not hesitating to take firm action against perpetrators of thuggery and illegal levies. On March 27, 2025, he led the formation of the Thuggery Eradication Task Force in 27 regions in West Java, targeting protection for drivers, traders, and industrial workers from illegal practices. He emphasized fair and humane law enforcement, but without compromise against the perpetrators.

"This firmness shows a commitment to legal certainty and the interests of the people. However, some view it as a leadership style that is too rigid or militaristic, as mentioned in several public opinions. Even so, Dedi consistently voiced that leaders must provide certainty, not just rhetoric, a principle he has held for a long time," said Suriyanto.

Today, March 29, 2025, his track record as a rule enforcer continues to be in the spotlight, especially in his efforts to improve governance in West Java. His firmness is not only about sanctions, but also about building a system that makes it easier for people to comply with the rules, such as the innovation of paying vehicle taxes in installments through the T-Samsat application. This is what makes Dedi Mulyadi known as a figure who is not only firm, but also solution-oriented.
