Even an indirect, or implied command requires jangan as a negative, for instance,
suroh dia jangan naik, tell him not to go up.
baik kita pergi atau jangan? shall we go or not?
In dependent clauses in which a purpose is expressed, that is to say after such conjunctions as “in order that,” “so that,” “lest,” the negative must be expressed by jangan, as,
spaya kaki-nya jangan kotor.
so that his feet should not get dirty.
