Subang Becomes an Industrial Magnet, Foreign Worker Supervision Tightened

Nov, 18 2025

Bandung – Subang Regency is currently undergoing a transformation. Included in the national strategic area of Rebana Metropolitan, this region is drawing global attention as a new magnet for industry and investment.

Continuous development is underway. Toll roads, ports, and industrial zones are being established across various parts of Subang. Alongside this development momentum, the demand for foreign human resources (HR) is also rising. Workers and experts from various countries are present to support the planning and construction of infrastructure.

This situation has made the supervision of foreign nationals a top priority. To ensure security and order, the Class I Immigration Office (Kantor Imigrasi Kelas I TPI) Bandung, together with the Foreigners Supervision Team (Tim Pora) of Subang Regency, has tightened supervision of foreign nationals (WNA) or foreign workers (TKA) operating in industrial areas.

“The presence of Tim Pora in Subang Regency is expected to be the spearhead of coordinated supervision over foreigners,” said Yulianto Bimanegara, Head of Intelligence and Immigration Enforcement (Inteldakim) at the Bandung Immigration Office, on Friday (July 25, 2025).

According to Yulianto, Tim Pora Subang is expected to serve as the frontline in ensuring foreign nationals’ presence complies with regulations and benefits development rather than harming it.

Recently, a joint team from West Java National Narcotics Agency (BNNP), Regional National Unity and Politics Agency (Bakesbangpol), Indonesian Armed Forces Intelligence (BAIS TNI), West Java State Intelligence Agency (BINDA), Police Resort (Polres), District Attorney’s Office (Kejari), Military District Command (Kodim), and local government conducted a joint operation in the Smartpolitan Industrial Area, Cipeundeuy District. This operation was a tangible step to prevent potential immigration violations in the field.

“This is a concrete law enforcement and supervision effort aimed at maintaining security and order in Subang regarding the presence and activities of foreigners,” he stated.

In addition, policymakers held discussions and coordination meetings at the industrial site, covering comprehensive data mapping of foreigners, including both industrial workers and foreign educators. They stressed the importance of regular data exchange between agencies.

Furthermore, the Bandung Immigration Office and all Tim Pora members are fully committed to safeguarding the region against immigration threats. Since the presence of foreigners also impacts national and regional revenue, it is crucial that their presence is properly monitored.

“It is expected that Tim Pora can operate harmoniously and with better coordination, considering increasingly complex threat dynamics and the growing number and activities of foreigners in Subang, which has the potential to increase state and regional revenues,” he concluded.

Head of the West Java-Bandung Raya region testing buses to finalize BRT plans

Bandung (ANTARA) - The Regional Head of West Java Province and the district/city of Greater Bandung conducted a trial of the Bandung Square-Kota Baru Parahyangan city bus, this Monday, in order to finalize plans to develop the Greater Bandung Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) transportation system. The trial using this bus transportation tool was to assess several aspects before the BRT Bandung Raya operational, such as regarding comfort and travel time during the trip. "We, together with the regional heads in the Bandung basin or the Greater Bandung metropolitan area, tried the BRT directly and the buses were comfortable, but the travel time was not congested for an hour, I think it's quite good, just need to be strengthened. Maybe special lanes are also needed in several corridors," said the Acting West Java Governor Bey Triadi Machmudin in West Bandung, Monday. Bey said that from the planned 21 corridors when they operate later, currently there are only five corridors that are quite good, such as Dipatiukur-Jatinangor, Baleendah-BEC, Alun-alun-Padalarang, Leuwipanjang-Dago, and Leuwipanjang-Soreang. "For the initial three corridors, 56 percent were on time, so we are optimistic that this will be a useful mode of transportation, especially for residents of Greater Bandung," he said. Regarding travel time in relation to existing traffic and road width, Bey said that the BRT stops at each stop for a maximum of two minutes, and the headways are between adjacent bus units to avoid pile-ups, either on buses or at stops. In the future, said Bey, infrastructure for the Greater Bandung BRT will begin to be built in early 2025, including an operations command center for managing bus units, CCTV equipment in buses for security. "Also, an integrated payment system will be created with one payment for the entire corridor with crossing points created. The budget for infrastructure will be from the World Bank. So of course it is hoped that the people of Greater Bandung will switch to bus transportation," he said. The Greater Bandung BRT will begin construction in early 2025, then continue with phase II in 2026 and be fully operational in 2027, the corridor of which will cover the areas of West Bandung Regency, Cimahi City, Bandung City, Bandung Regency and Sumedang Regency.
