  • Samarinda is accelerating the synchronization of employees’ private and official vehicle records ahead of a subscription parking program planned for full implementation in 2027.
  • Deputy Mayor Saefuddin Zuhri gave government departments one week to complete the data collection and correct problems including duplicate records, staff changes and registration errors.
  • The city and its transport agency are using the process to strengthen internal administration before extending the program to the public.

Samarinda is putting its own house in order before asking residents to join a subscription parking program scheduled to operate fully in 2027. The city government is accelerating checks of vehicles owned or used by its employees, treating internal discipline as the first test of the policy.

Deputy Mayor Saefuddin Zuhri instructed every municipal department to match records for employees’ private and official vehicles. The exercise covers civil servants, government contract workers, part-time contract workers and honorary staff. He said the city must ensure that its own officials provide a credible example before the program reaches the wider public.

Government must first be orderly internally before inviting the public to participate. How can people trust the government if it cannot set an example itself?

— Saefuddin ZuhriSamarinda’s deputy mayor urged municipal officials to complete their own vehicle data checks before the parking program expands to residents.

“Government must first be orderly internally before inviting the public to participate. How can people trust the government if it cannot set an example itself?” Saefuddin said while chairing a parking data reconciliation meeting in Samarinda.

We want to ensure that all municipal personnel are accurately recorded regarding vehicle ownership and use.

— Saefuddin ZuhriHe described the scope of the synchronization effort covering Samarinda’s government workforce.

The synchronization is intended to support more than an administrative database. Saefuddin described it as part of building orderly and accountable governance. Officials have identified several reasons for discrepancies, including employee transfers, retirements, data-entry mistakes, duplicate registrations and vehicles shared by family members.

He gave department coordinators one week to finish the work and told them not to merely distribute an information link. Departments with incomplete records must coordinate with the technical team and Samarinda’s transportation agency. Typographical errors in license-plate numbers and duplicate registrations by spouses, he said, should not delay the process. The city has been testing and promoting the subscription parking system since August 2026 while preparing digital applications and physical cards for the planned 2027 rollout.

The coordinator or appointed official must not merely distribute an information link. Make sure the data is followed up. Everything must be completed next week.

— Saefuddin ZuhriHe set a one-week deadline for departments to complete and verify their records.
