Mie Gacoan, one of the noodle shops that is currently popular in Indonesia, has recently become a hot topic after its branch located in Serpong, Tangerang, was sealed by Satpol PP (Civil Service Police Unit). This incident was quite surprising, because the shop had not yet been operational and was only in the preparation stage. So, what was the real reason behind Satpol PP’s action? Here is a complete explanation of the incident.
Sealing of Mie Gacoan Serpong by Satpol PP
A few days ago, Satpol PP Serpong sealed Mie Gacoan located in the Serpong area, even though the place had not yet been opened to the public. This action raised many questions, because Mie Gacoan itself had not yet started operations and was only in the preparation process. Satpol PP carried out the sealing after finding several violations related to business permits and provisions in force in the area. One of the main reasons for the sealing was because Mie Gacoan Serpong did not yet have a complete operational permit.
Satpol PP stated that although the construction of the business premises had reached the final stage, the management had not yet taken care of the necessary permits in accordance with applicable regional regulations. This includes a building permit (IMB) and other business permits that must be obtained before a business premises is opened to the public.
Reasons Behind the Lack of Permits Issued
Satpol PP Serpong explained that restaurant or food stall entrepreneurs in the area are required to have valid permits in accordance with applicable provisions. Mie Gacoan is suspected of not having fully complied with existing administrative procedures, even though the shop has not yet opened. This sealing was carried out to prevent further violations that could result in stricter supervision of businesses in the area.
According to several sources, Mie Gacoan Serpong has also not taken care of permits related to environmental and sanitation aspects which are important to ensure that the business runs safely and in accordance with the rules set by the local government. This sealing, although not directly related to the shop’s operations, is still a preventive measure by the authorities to avoid potential legal problems in the future.
Response from Mie Gacoan and Lessons Learned
The management of Mie Gacoan Serpong stated that they are trying to resolve the administrative issues as soon as possible. They emphasized that the sealing was not related to serious violations, but rather to incomplete licensing documents. Mie Gacoan also stated that they would immediately make improvements and ensure that all legal requirements are met before starting operations.
This sealing is certainly an important lesson for business actors, especially those planning to open a new business. A proper licensing process that complies with regulations is very important to prevent problems in the future. In addition, this action by Satpol PP also shows the importance of strict supervision of business developments, especially those that have the potential to cause social or environmental impacts.
