Indonesia Use a Broker? No Problem. Do It Yourself? Not Possible.

Today might be a day full of criticism for our beloved country. Why? Because many government officers seem to completely lack logical reasoning. This criticism sparked after I read tons of comments on Twitter and Threads.

There, people were talking about a post saying that to pay vehicle tax, you must provide the original ID card (KTP) of the registered owner. But in this case, the motorcycle had already been sold to someone else.

So here's the issue:

The new buyer wanted to pay the tax, but couldn't.

Why? Because the system insists that only the original owner can pay it.

Even though the buyer already had the STNK (registration) and PKB (proof of ownership) — clearly showing that the bike was purchased.

❌ The logic just doesn’t make sense:

1. Someone wants to pay tax, but they’re forced to show the original owner’s ID card.

2. The ownership (BPKB) has already been legally transferred.

3. Taxes are income for the state, but instead of encouraging it, they make it more difficult.

What’s even weirder is… many comments said if you use a broker (calo), it can be done.

Why can a broker do it, but not the actual citizen?

This means the broker somehow bypasses or shortcuts SOPs that maybe aren’t even necessary to begin with. And suddenly, things just "work". So again: Why can’t the public handle it themselves?

Is it because they’re expecting a "little something" (under the table money) before allowing it?

The original ID is just for verification, and honestly, it’s not that important.
