Criticism Over Koin Jagat Treasure Hunt Damaging Parks

The Koin Jagat treasure hunt has drawn criticism, particularly from the management of the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) area. GBK’s Director of Public Affairs, Hadi Sulistia, stated that facilities in the GBK area have been damaged due to treasure-hunting activities. He urged people to stop the activity to prevent further damage.

“(The coin hunt trend) disrupts other visitors engaging in positive activities at GBK and increases the risk of social issues,” Hadi said in a statement, as quoted by detiknews.

Hadi emphasized that GBK is not an appropriate location for the treasure hunt. Security teams will patrol the area and issue warnings and persuasive advice to prevent destruction.
