Tangerang – Allegations of fraudulent practices of bribery/gratification in accepting new students (PPDB) for SMA Negeri in Tangerang City are slowly surfacing. The fraudulent practice referred to is the naughty act of a person suspected of buying and selling empty seats for new students.
This fraudulent PPDB information appeared at SMA Negeri 12, Tangerang City, Banten. It is known that a student with the initial C can be admitted without going through all the PPDB routes, including the zoning route.
This info was revealed accidentally from the small talk of some parents of students. Coincidentally, the parents of these students came from the same junior high school. For example, the parents of students N, G and A. Incidentally, the three of them managed to pass the PPDB zoning at SMA Negeri 12 Kota Tangerang.
Because they were successful, the parents of the three students were automatically included in the WhatsApp group for new students at SMA Negeri 12 Kota Tangerang. The situation is still running normally. Until then, suddenly the names of students’ parents from C entered the group. Suddenly, parents of students from N, G and A were shocked. How did you get in, they asked at the time.
This is where PPDB’s alleged fraudulent practices were exposed. Based on the information obtained, to the parents of student N, the parents of student C admitted that they had bought an empty seat at SMA Negeri 12 Kota Tangerang for IDR 18 million.
He also admitted that this figure was the number of agreements after negotiations so that his son could be accepted as a new student at SMA Negeri 12 Kota Tangerang. The reason is, when the PPDB zoning route, their children bounced and did not enter because they lost at the distance.
“But don’t tell anyone,” said parent C, hoping that parents N would imitate them.
This suspicion about C’s entry inevitably made several parents of students who managed to enter SMA Negeri 12 Tangerang City become mind racing.
C is an example that was forced to appear due to accident. In fact, based on wind information received, there are still several examples of other students who also entered SMA Negeri 12 Kota Tangerang without going through the PPDB route, but they tried to hide it.
C himself is currently known to have attended SMA Negeri 12 Kota Tangerang with his new friends who are entering PPDB from all streams. The difference is, C entered aftershocks and did not attend the School Environment Introduction Period (MPLS).
In addition to C, students with the initials A also carried out the same thing, namely joining without PPDB and MPLS. This is known from the results of WhatsApp conversations between parents of students. To a parent who is also a topikonline.co.id informant, the parent of student A admitted spending Rp. 20 million so that their child could get a seat in class X at SMA Negeri 12 Kota Tangerang. The money to pay for the purchase of a bench was given to one of the school administrators.
Until the time this news was written, topikonline.co.id had not been able to contact the Principal of SMA Negeri 12 Kota Tangerang, Hj Nunung Nurjanah. The confirmation Whatsapp message sent was not responded to even though it was entered.
Meanwhile, Deputy Principal for Public Relations, Hari, when confirmed, denied all of this information. He also admitted that he only knew the sales and purchases of seats when it was confirmed.
“All of that information is not true. We instead want to meet with the parents of students whose children are suspected of buying chairs for clarification,” he said.
“And we are also ready if Irwasda and the Tangerang City Education Office examine and seek the truth of this information,” he continued.
Hundreds of millions
Separately, the Head of the Investigation Division of the Non-Governmental Organization People’s Communication Forum for Transparency (NGO FORSI), J Matondang, when contacted, admitted that he already knew information about fraudulent PPDB at SMA Negeri 12 Tangerang City.
“I already know and have communicated with several parents of students involved in this alleged case. I am still waiting for other reports before moving on,” he said.
He also said that the alleged practice of buying and selling empty seats at SMA Negeri 12 Kota Tangerang was estimated at hundreds of millions of rupiah. Even though it is invisible to the naked eye, he is sure that everything will be uncovered when investigated.
“Now it’s just how the Tangerang City Education Office and the Banten Provincial Government react to this. If necessary, embrace the Tangerang City Police or Polda Metro Jaya to investigate this alleged case. This is because this is a form of gratuity and violates the Corruption Law,” he stressed.
It is alleged that the practice of buying and selling empty seats at SMA Negeri 12 Tangerang City is a criminal violation of the Corruption Law. The party giving the money and the recipient of the money are charged with Article 5 in conjunction with Article 12 letters a and b of Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes.
