Kapanlagi.com - The public is currently abuzz discussing a viral video featuring a group of Civil Servants (ASN) from the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office (PUPR) East Kutai joyfully dancing on an office table. In the 51-second video, the employees are seen partying with loud music, accompanied by flashy cash giving acts. Not only that, the suspicion of the presence of liquor bottles at the location adds to the controversy.
This recording has immediately sparked a wave of criticism from the public, who deem such behavior highly inappropriate for a state servant. Calls for strict action to be taken have intensified, leading the Acting Head of the East Kutai PUPR Office, Joni Setia Abadi, to acknowledge that the incident did indeed occur in his office. Nevertheless, he attempted to explain that the event was merely entertainment after a long day of overtime.
However, the issue does not stop there. The Regent of East Kutai, Ardiansyah Sulaiman, promptly intervened by instructing the Employee Discipline Commission to conduct a thorough investigation to determine sanctions for the involved ASN. So, what interesting facts have emerged so far? Check out the complete information summarized by Kapanlagi.com, Monday (17/2).
In a 51-second viral video on social media, a group of employees can be seen happily dancing on office tables, creating a party-like atmosphere with loud music and flashy money-throwing antics.
Controversy erupted, especially after the discovery of bottles of alcoholic beverages on the table, further tarnishing the image of the Civil Servants (ASN) who are supposed to be role models in discipline and professionalism.
The public expressed their outrage, questioning the ethics of such behavior, especially since this incident occurred in a government office environment that should uphold morality.
Although it is still unclear whether the party took place during working hours, the public is urging the local government to take firm action against this deemed inappropriate behavior.
In response to the uproar caused by the viral video, Joni Setia Abadi, the Acting Head of the PUPR Office of East Kutai, confirmed that the incident did indeed occur within his office environment. He explained that the event was held as a form of entertainment after employees worked overtime to complete the end-of-year tasks for 2024
However, Joni emphasized that the circulating video does not reflect the entire situation, adding that the event was not an official office activity. The alcoholic beverages seen were likely brought by certain individuals outside of working hours.
Nevertheless, he expressed regret and promised to provide disciplinary guidance to the employees involved. This clarification still leaves questions in the minds of the public, particularly regarding the ethical oversight of ASN in the workplace, with many arguing that although intended for entertainment, such activities should not be conducted in government-funded offices.
“The incident happened in 2024. They were entertaining themselves after tiring work day and night overtime,” he said.
East Kutai Regent, Ardiansyah Sulaiman, did not remain silent in response to a viral video involving civil servants (ASN). In his decisive action, he instructed the Employee Disciplinary Commission to conduct a thorough investigation into the alleged disciplinary violations that occurred.
A joint team led by the County Secretary, along with the Human Resources Development Agency (BKPSDM), Regional Inspectorate, and the Public Works and Public Housing Office (PUPR) will gather evidence to ascertain the truth of this case.
The regent emphasized that the results of the investigation will serve as a reference for imposing sanctions, while also reminding all ASN to always uphold ethics and refrain from actions that could tarnish the image of the government.
"I have instructed the Employee Disciplinary Commission (East Kutai Government) to conduct an investigation to investigate the alleged disciplinary violations by employees within the East Kutai PUPR Office," said East Kalimantan Regent Ardiansyah Sulaiman, quoting pro.kutaitimurkab.go.id.
In the world of state civil apparatus (ASN), discipline is everything. Currently, an investigation is underway to investigate the violations committed by an ASN who was caught dancing on the office table.
Ardiansyah, a high-ranking official, emphasized that such actions cannot be tolerated, as ASN has a moral responsibility as public servants who must always behave professionally.
If it is proven that there was involvement of alcoholic beverages in the celebration, the sanctions imposed could be more severe, considering this is a serious violation of the code of ethics. The East Kutai Regency is committed to enforcing regulations to maintain the image and integrity of the local government.
“If it’s just to relieve stress with regular karaoke, it might still be understandable. But if it goes as far as getting on the table and doing inappropriate things, that’s outrageous,” he said, again.
This case reminds us that in the digital era, every step taken by ASN can easily come under public scrutiny. Even the smallest violations have the potential to go viral on social media, leading to serious consequences for both individuals and institutions. ASN, as the frontline of government, is required to always maintain their attitude and behavior, both while performing their duties and in everyday life.
Incidents like this risk eroding public trust, adding challenges for local governments to restore their tarnished image. Now, all eyes are on the results of the investigation and the decision of the Kutai Timur Regency.
Will sanctions be enforced firmly, or will it end with just a regular warning? This question becomes a test of the local government's commitment to enforcing ASN discipline.
“Today (Monday, February 17, 2025), the Disciplinary Commission has begun conducting an investigation,” added Ardiansyah.
The video shows several employees dancing on office tables to loud music and engaging in money throwing actions, and it is also suspected that there were bottles of alcoholic beverages present, which sparked controversy on social media.
The Regent of Kutai Timur, Ardiansyah Sulaiman, has ordered an investigation into the ASN involved and emphasized that sanctions will be imposed based on the investigation results.
Yes, ASN who are proven to violate the code of ethics and discipline may face sanctions ranging from reprimands to more severe administrative actions.
According to clarification from the Acting Head of the PUPR Kutai Timur Department, the incident occurred at the end of December 2024 after employees worked overtime for year-end tasks.
This case tarnishes the image of ASN as public servants and serves as an important reminder for state apparatus to uphold ethics, especially in the digital era.
