The Maluku Regional Police have mobilized 339 personnel to ensure the security of a public viewing event for the Netherlands versus Sweden World Cup match. The event, organized in partnership with the Dutch Embassy, is set to take place in Ambon City. Police Chief of Public Relations, Kombes Pol Rositah Umasugi, stated that the joint forces include members from the Maluku Regional Police's Directorate of Samapta and personnel from the Ambon City Police. A readiness apel was conducted prior to the deployment, with officers positioned at strategic points throughout the city. The security measures aim to guarantee a smooth and safe experience for attendees without disrupting public activities. The police also issued a call for orderliness during any post-match celebrations, such as street convoys. The public viewing is a response to the significant enthusiasm for the World Cup and the Dutch national team observed among the residents of Ambon. The city has already seen an increase in orange-themed attributes and Dutch flags, reflecting the community's excitement.
We also urge the public who conduct post-match activities like convoys to do so in an orderly manner on the highway.
