JAKARTA, KOMPAS – App-based transportation related crimes continue to occur. Passengers as consumers have minimal guarantee for safety and security. Efforts to monitor safety and security as well as to prevent and tackle crimes, both by law enforcers and app-based transportation companies, are deemed abysmal.
Yun Siska Rohani, 29, became the latest victim of such a crime on Sunday (18/3/2018). As an employee of a wedding organizer, Siska often works until very late at night. On Sunday, she was robbed and then murdered by the driver of the registered app-based transportation service.
