00:00:00
supposed to read them
00:00:01
[Applause]
00:00:10
thank you Professor Susanna for a very
00:00:13
generous introduction
00:00:16
Professor Kanti
00:00:18
and all faculty members of the Lee Kuan
00:00:22
Yew School of Public Policy Mr
00:00:25
Ambassador here with us today and all
00:00:27
participants it is indeed a privilege
00:00:30
and honor for me to be here this
00:00:33
afternoon come back to Lee kuania School
00:00:36
of public policy and had the opportunity
00:00:38
to share some of our works
00:00:41
and yes
00:00:43
Jakarta is many challenge I'll share a
00:00:46
few but coming to Singapore is literally
00:00:48
a break
00:00:49
uh it's really a break
00:00:52
you know coming to a City without
00:00:53
worrying about water with worrying about
00:00:55
any of the challenge I'm as visitors
00:00:58
because if you're in Jakarta you travel
00:01:00
and then as you know as much as you are
00:01:03
observing the city you're also thinking
00:01:05
what needs to be fixed one needs to be
00:01:07
developed but here we are visiting it
00:01:09
you don't have to worry about anything
00:01:10
uh here in in Singapore so it's good to
00:01:13
be back in Singapore and I'm privileged
00:01:16
with this opportunity to share some of
00:01:17
things that we're doing
00:01:19
uh and let me let me uh uh sort of share
00:01:25
some of the
00:01:27
the big pictures of our of our challenge
00:01:30
uh in Jakarta Jakarta is a city with 11
00:01:34
million population
00:01:36
so when it comes to
00:01:39
some of the key features uh we have 11
00:01:41
million people
00:01:43
and plus around 23 million in
00:01:45
surrounding so a total around 35
00:01:47
Millions that's Jakarta greater area
00:01:50
and the size of Jakarta itself is only
00:01:53
660 kilometers Square so basically 20 by
00:01:57
30 kilometers Square
00:01:59
and we contributed 17 of our national
00:02:03
GDP so with the larger area it's no less
00:02:08
than 25 percent of the national GDP is
00:02:11
in that area
00:02:12
so it is a city that is significant to
00:02:16
to Indonesia and many challenges that we
00:02:20
have
00:02:22
if I may say so there's four uh big
00:02:26
issues that whenever we're doing surveys
00:02:28
what are things that concern most to our
00:02:32
resident
00:02:33
number one will be cost of living
00:02:35
number two would be Healthcare
00:02:38
number three education employment these
00:02:40
are top four issues
00:02:43
that our populations has always
00:02:46
responding Whenever there is survey
00:02:49
and unfortunately flood is never on the
00:02:51
top list
00:02:53
unfortunately
00:02:54
there is a global challenge that City
00:02:57
like us is facing
00:03:01
one we're talking about climate change
00:03:08
and then two we're talking about you
00:03:11
know
00:03:11
more livable
00:03:14
City
00:03:15
and this is sort of a issues across the
00:03:18
globe if you're talking about how can we
00:03:20
make our city more livable because more
00:03:22
and more people are living in the urban
00:03:24
area as of today in Indonesia we have
00:03:26
around 56 percent of our populations
00:03:29
living in the urban area
00:03:31
and it is projected that by uh 2050 75
00:03:36
percent of Indonesians will be living in
00:03:38
the urban area
00:03:40
so we have these big challenges and then
00:03:42
those four challenge that I mentioned
00:03:45
earlier
00:03:46
surveys
00:03:49
threat to our residents have come up
00:03:51
with four issue once is living gods
00:03:56
two is about health
00:04:01
three is about
00:04:03
foreign
00:04:08
forces about employment
00:04:14
so when it comes to living costs what
00:04:17
are the structure here one is food
00:04:21
two is housing
00:04:24
three is mobility
00:04:29
these are components that are so
00:04:31
critical when it comes to cost of living
00:04:34
when it comes to health
00:04:36
we're talking about coverage
00:04:40
or insurance
00:04:44
and then education employment I'll I'll
00:04:46
talk about all of that
00:04:49
I'll address this first issue first
00:04:51
because if you talk to people in Jakarta
00:04:54
what will be the most pressing issue
00:04:55
everybody will talk about because of
00:04:57
living that's number one and then on the
00:05:00
first issue is food
00:05:02
we imported food from outside so 99.9 of
00:05:08
food available in the in the in the
00:05:10
household of jakartans or coming from
00:05:12
outside the city so ensuring Food
00:05:15
Supplies
00:05:16
is truly extremely critical to us
00:05:21
so when I were when I was asked and
00:05:24
punished what is in your mind every day
00:05:26
in the morning when you wake up as a
00:05:28
governor then my reply would be
00:05:31
is the food price
00:05:33
change
00:05:35
not flood not traffic it's been there
00:05:37
for years but this is one factors that
00:05:40
if it changes if it increase it's not
00:05:43
only affecting the heartans but across
00:05:45
Indonesia
00:05:46
the inflations that Jakarta can
00:05:48
contribute is significant so on this we
00:05:53
we
00:05:55
organize we're talking about policies
00:05:58
our approach is to divide between Supply
00:06:04
and demand
00:06:08
on the supply side we had state-owned
00:06:11
Enterprises
00:06:12
to manage supply of food
00:06:15
and then we have our bureaucrats in the
00:06:17
in the Departments
00:06:19
to measure demands and to sort of
00:06:24
extrapolate project demands
00:06:27
in the past
00:06:29
these two the bureaucrats and the state
00:06:31
Enterprise were working together some
00:06:33
are working on the supply side so we're
00:06:35
working on the on the demand side since
00:06:38
2018 we divided into the two the state
00:06:41
on Enterprises focus on Supply
00:06:44
and the Departments is focusing on
00:06:47
demand and none is working uh uh on the
00:06:52
same issue for example when when the
00:06:55
company here talking about Supply they
00:06:58
form collaborations with certain regions
00:07:01
in Indonesia to produce rice for example
00:07:05
in the past that kind of collaborations
00:07:08
are happening between our company and
00:07:10
our department of food
00:07:13
and because of that there is
00:07:15
mismanagement issues so that's two and
00:07:17
then number number two is to make sure
00:07:20
that food market is efficient
00:07:23
and to do that we have an application
00:07:26
called EPG index
00:07:29
so if any of you had the opportunity uh
00:07:32
download that application it's called
00:07:35
index e-page a
00:07:37
info Jakarta and that
00:07:41
on that application this is the
00:07:43
applications you will be able to see all
00:07:46
Commodities and the price change at real
00:07:49
time
00:07:51
why do we need this this is in order to
00:07:54
create a symmetric information within
00:07:56
the market
00:07:58
that is how government intervene not by
00:08:01
subsidies but by creating efficient
00:08:03
market
00:08:04
so what what what price is reflected
00:08:07
here it's a wholesaler marketing
00:08:13
is where all Agricultural Product is
00:08:16
coming to Jakarta it'll come to this one
00:08:19
big Market
00:08:21
by knowing the price there we know
00:08:24
exactly the difference between passar
00:08:26
indok and the retail store
00:08:28
the War Room in the campu and by having
00:08:32
this information transparent we are able
00:08:35
to create a more efficient market for
00:08:38
food so we rely on Market but government
00:08:41
intervene by providing this and ensuring
00:08:45
there is time in which we need to
00:08:48
intervene when we need to intervene
00:08:50
we're intervening at the wholesaler
00:08:51
market so that the supply is the bill so
00:08:55
that's one two housing
00:08:57
on housing there's two things here
00:09:01
there's not enough space there so I'll
00:09:03
use this here I divide it into two
00:09:05
issues here with regard to housing there
00:09:08
is home Seeker house Seeker those who
00:09:11
wanted to have a house and those who
00:09:13
already have homes we have two different
00:09:15
policy here
00:09:17
why I divide into two Jakarta is
00:09:21
the only area in Indonesia in which
00:09:24
price of land
00:09:26
were increasing significantly
00:09:29
and sometimes exponential
00:09:32
a level so the price of land is truly
00:09:35
increasing why because there is limited
00:09:37
land
00:09:38
and prices keep going up and one of the
00:09:41
driver for that increase of price is our
00:09:45
property tax
00:09:47
so government is very effective
00:09:49
increasing price of land in Vietnamese
00:09:52
in Jakarta by introducing policies that
00:09:55
from our perspective we'd like to
00:09:58
increase our revenue from tax
00:10:00
by giving property tax much higher rate
00:10:03
but on the other hand it has effect on
00:10:06
people that the price of land increasing
00:10:09
many unable to pay the tax so for this
00:10:12
a tax policy we introduced to ensure
00:10:15
they're able to stay where they are on
00:10:18
house house Seekers
00:10:21
for the one with purchasing power that
00:10:24
is high and those in the middle
00:10:28
and then those were low income
00:10:33
their approached a different
00:10:35
for those with high purchasing power we
00:10:37
let the market to operate
00:10:39
you know you have this advertisement of
00:10:42
new houses new Flats new uh dormitory
00:10:46
and things like that that's through the
00:10:47
market mechanisms but those in the
00:10:49
middle
00:10:50
and the low income they have
00:10:52
difficulties
00:10:53
entering the market and getting home so
00:10:56
on this area we created a project it's
00:10:59
called zero down payment project
00:11:02
this is for those who are earning
00:11:05
from minimum wage
00:11:07
up to 15 million minimum wage is 4.6
00:11:11
million rupiah which is uh in dollars
00:11:15
400 Singapore dollars up to 15 Millions
00:11:20
15 million would be one thousand 500.
00:11:25
so that's the range
00:11:27
those who are making that level of
00:11:30
monthly income
00:11:32
they are able to engage on a mortgage on
00:11:36
payment monthly payment but most of the
00:11:39
time they didn't have the down the money
00:11:43
for down payment
00:11:44
so we created a zero down payment
00:11:46
project so you don't have to pay the
00:11:48
zero down payment but
00:11:50
the monthly installment they'll be able
00:11:52
to do that's for the second and then for
00:11:54
the low income is rental flap
00:11:58
and in the past five years we built all
00:12:02
of this about we built around 33 Towers
00:12:05
uh to help facilitate this this uh uh
00:12:09
this segment of our society
00:12:12
and then the last one is for the
00:12:14
homeowners of Jakarta we have been
00:12:17
seeing migrations
00:12:19
in a in a in a on a regular basis and
00:12:24
rather structural those who used to live
00:12:27
in the middle relocating outside the
00:12:29
city and selling their lands many of
00:12:32
them because they're unable to afford
00:12:34
the property tax
00:12:37
uh if any of you were monitoring news
00:12:40
from Indonesia but a few weeks ago there
00:12:43
is a phenomenon called chitayam
00:12:47
Fashion Week
00:12:48
Italian fashion weeks with the youth for
00:12:50
coming
00:12:51
if you if we I mean and we did it we
00:12:55
researched a little bit further many of
00:12:57
these still many of these uh you know
00:13:00
teenagers were there
00:13:03
childhood were in the neighborhood
00:13:06
their parents relocating to chitayam
00:13:09
area to Depot area to outside the city
00:13:12
so when they're going back to their area
00:13:14
it's actually they're going back to
00:13:16
their old neighborhood because they used
00:13:18
to live around that area
00:13:20
so the story behind the the sort of the
00:13:23
lesson behind this is that if we are
00:13:26
allowing property tax to continue rising
00:13:30
in Jakarta we will be fine basically
00:13:34
punishing the old residents who live in
00:13:37
the Strategic area for day for send for
00:13:40
you know decades for Generations because
00:13:43
they're no longer able to afford a
00:13:45
property tax in their area so our
00:13:47
approach is that then
00:13:50
we provided a tax break for anyone that
00:13:55
own homes below 2 billion Rupiah
00:13:59
the property tax is zero above that then
00:14:02
property tax being introduced so that's
00:14:04
on the housings now in the mobility
00:14:08
and the mobility uh let me
00:14:11
give you an illustrations
00:14:13
the challenge I'll talk further about
00:14:15
this
00:14:17
we have 11 million people and we have 13
00:14:20
million motorized vehicle
00:14:24
so we have more Motors than people
00:14:27
so on Mobility we are facing quite a
00:14:30
serious challenge for a million people
00:14:32
are commuting daily
00:14:34
3.5 million cars 16 million motorcycles
00:14:38
in an area that is so small some
00:14:41
Mobility is an issue that's why we have
00:14:43
a traffic congestion and sometimes it's
00:14:46
a gridlock
00:14:47
and we need to do something about it
00:14:50
so our approach on this is uh we look at
00:14:55
look at the ecosystem so we have a lot
00:14:58
of public transport operating in our
00:14:59
city
00:15:03
and then this is passengers
00:15:12
and government here
00:15:14
we are sort of regulator
00:15:18
and we're doing enforcement
00:15:21
of minimum surface requirement
00:15:25
so these are operators of our public
00:15:28
transport we have no less than 25
00:15:29
operators
00:15:31
mccroulette Metro Mini copaja
00:15:34
and all those brands that you know you
00:15:37
remember all those names and
00:15:40
and they are operating individually and
00:15:42
then you have passengers here and they
00:15:44
have transaction every day
00:15:46
so when I came to office I said you know
00:15:49
there's no way we can improve our public
00:15:51
transport if we do not adopt one word
00:15:53
it's called integration
00:15:56
we need to integrate this into a single
00:15:58
system
00:16:00
because this is operating on its own how
00:16:03
do we work on that so
00:16:06
all these operators I call them for a
00:16:08
meeting it was early
00:16:11
2000 uh
00:16:14
2011 2018
00:16:16
and I invited them for this meeting I
00:16:19
said we would like to have an integrated
00:16:21
public transport and it's called
00:16:23
jacquelinko and we would like to work
00:16:26
together with you
00:16:28
I must say it was the most heated
00:16:30
meeting I ever attended
00:16:32
oh boy yes indeed all these The
00:16:36
Operators and the management of that
00:16:37
they're coming to us and they're one
00:16:39
felser thank you for the invite this is
00:16:42
first time you're invited and two we're
00:16:44
they're extremely upset to us why
00:16:47
because we are operators and we are also
00:16:50
regulators and we're not being fair on
00:16:54
the one hand we have trans Jakarta that
00:16:56
is our company on the other hand we're
00:16:58
regulator that set the standards and set
00:17:00
the routes and everything
00:17:02
so they are suffering because of that
00:17:04
system so I told them we would like to
00:17:06
work together and we would like to
00:17:09
create a system that is fair
00:17:11
and an ecosystem that is fair
00:17:14
and finally the meeting was over and
00:17:16
they're willing to work together
00:17:18
and this is the plan that we presented
00:17:21
to them so all these operators you're no
00:17:24
longer receiving payment from passengers
00:17:28
okay
00:17:29
all is gone
00:17:33
so this is the government part
00:17:40
we will be your off taker we'll pay our
00:17:43
service
00:17:44
and we'll pay our surface per kilometers
00:17:48
and every day you have to
00:17:50
go through the routes that is this
00:17:52
designated to them it's about 100
00:17:54
kilometers per day plus minus 10
00:17:57
kilometers that's tolerated
00:17:59
and then we're gonna pay you
00:18:02
by kilometers
00:18:03
okay on the other hand on the other hand
00:18:07
with the passengers
00:18:10
they are paying to US 10 kilometers 10
00:18:13
000 Rupiah it used to be 5000 Rupiah
00:18:17
10 000 Rupiah
00:18:20
for three hours right
00:18:23
so you can
00:18:25
take a macrobass Microbus
00:18:30
at seven o'clock in the morning you can
00:18:32
transfer to any public transport until
00:18:35
10 o'clock and no additional pay and you
00:18:38
can transfer anywhere
00:18:39
so we integrated the routes we
00:18:42
integrated the
00:18:44
payment system and we also will get the
00:18:46
management in a way because all of them
00:18:48
operate under uh
00:18:51
and with that approach with that
00:18:53
approach we are able to see some changes
00:18:57
number one
00:18:59
the microbiases in Jakarta who are
00:19:02
operating under this scheme they're no
00:19:04
longer doing a Time
00:19:06
and the time is
00:19:08
waiting for passengers
00:19:10
because they're not being paid by
00:19:11
numbers of passengers number two there
00:19:14
is no longer routes there is
00:19:17
called
00:19:21
wet routes and dry routes meaning no
00:19:25
passengers there because they're no
00:19:27
longer worried about how many passengers
00:19:29
were riding because they will be paid
00:19:31
based on uh the kilometers and then on
00:19:35
top of that they can have a contract
00:19:38
with us
00:19:39
and they can go to the bank and renew
00:19:42
The Fleets
00:19:43
so today if you come to Jakarta try to
00:19:46
find the old Metro Mini
00:19:49
if you can find one I'll take you for
00:19:51
dinner
00:19:53
because
00:19:55
not that we put a restriction but
00:19:59
because they have contract with us
00:20:01
they're able to renew and get a better
00:20:04
Fleet for their own it's a it's an
00:20:08
ecosystem that is being fixed not only
00:20:11
about fixing the let's say
00:20:15
uh the routes being extended and
00:20:17
everything
00:20:18
and then on top of that the passengers
00:20:20
and with that approach
00:20:23
we're able to double
00:20:26
our coverage
00:20:27
we used to comfort Jakarta for about 42
00:20:30
percent
00:20:32
was covered and in three years it
00:20:35
increased to 82 percent
00:20:37
now it's 90 of Ariana Jakarta was
00:20:40
covered by public transport
00:20:43
but in order to meet this agreement it
00:20:45
takes 88 meetings
00:20:48
and six months of negotiations
00:20:51
with all these operators and these
00:20:54
operators were very outspoken
00:20:56
you know these are not groups that is
00:20:58
you know these groups are very outspoken
00:21:01
and 88 meetings and we agreed on that
00:21:03
system
00:21:05
and then on top of that we're talking
00:21:07
about increase of uh ridership
00:21:10
let me show you some of the data on that
00:21:13
from around 350 000 to 1 million per day
00:21:17
in terms of uh ridership so I often said
00:21:21
if we double the fleet
00:21:23
it means we have the fiscal power
00:21:28
to increase the number of buses
00:21:31
but if we increase ridership it means
00:21:33
there is a change in the behavior of the
00:21:36
public and what we are seeing here is a
00:21:39
change and you saw the number earlier
00:21:41
that the daily commuter is about 4
00:21:45
million so our Target was reaching 4
00:21:48
million by 2030. not by next year but
00:21:51
2013. so the trajectory is we are into
00:21:54
the directions we are seeing uh positive
00:21:58
Trends on this however it needs to
00:22:00
continue it must not stop there same
00:22:03
thing with uh
00:22:05
the annual ridership too
00:22:08
so
00:22:09
and this is the area that used to be
00:22:12
covered
00:22:14
it used to be around 42 percent of
00:22:16
Jakarta covered by public transport
00:22:18
when this data was made it was in 2021
00:22:22
was 82 now we're covered 90 and with
00:22:26
that mobility issue that we talk about
00:22:28
here
00:22:29
is handled why because family spending
00:22:33
on Mobility can take up to 80 30 percent
00:22:37
our family spending for Mobility
00:22:41
and our Target is to reduce this to
00:22:43
eight percent
00:22:47
even this is even higher when we have
00:22:50
increase in fuel prices like uh past few
00:22:53
weeks
00:22:54
by having public transport in the city
00:22:57
we can absorb the stock
00:22:59
because the public can take public
00:23:01
transport and don't have to worry about
00:23:03
the change in fuel prices but if you're
00:23:07
not relying on public transport then
00:23:08
you're heavily affected by the chains in
00:23:12
fuel prices and I think this should be
00:23:14
the pattern that cities across Indonesia
00:23:17
are taking building the flopping public
00:23:21
transport we have not done so for so
00:23:23
many decades
00:23:25
we basically our approach is this when
00:23:27
it comes to Mobility it's your own
00:23:29
business we build the road you decide
00:23:31
what kind of vehicles you have you may
00:23:34
have cars you may have motorcycles but
00:23:36
that's your decision the state provide
00:23:39
no public Mobility when it comes to
00:23:42
Inner City mobility and that needs to
00:23:45
stop
00:23:46
and that's what Jakarta has been doing
00:23:48
in the past few years is by integrating
00:23:50
that and saying public transport is no
00:23:53
longer a good
00:23:55
a delegated
00:23:58
delegated authority to the household but
00:24:01
we take it over we will be taking
00:24:02
responsibility on people's mobility
00:24:05
within the city and and there is a
00:24:08
higher purpose
00:24:10
more than this more than about maybe
00:24:12
more than about traffic exams and and
00:24:16
simply Transportation issue we are
00:24:19
addressing this challenge
00:24:21
climate change immediately
00:24:26
why of course it's obvious when we take
00:24:29
public transport then less usage of
00:24:31
privatized private Vehicles then we are
00:24:34
seeing less greenhouse gas emission and
00:24:37
in fact we are seeing a good statistic
00:24:40
on that
00:24:41
we have targeted a 30 reductions of
00:24:45
greenhouse gas emissions in our city by
00:24:48
2030.
00:24:49
and now we are in 2022 eight years to go
00:24:53
and we have achieved 26 percent
00:24:56
so we are ahead of our Target and we'd
00:24:59
like to continue on that so we address
00:25:02
that issue number two is we're talking
00:25:04
about uh
00:25:07
a city from the environment point of
00:25:09
view which is healthier
00:25:11
but also as a society that feel a sense
00:25:17
of unity
00:25:18
sense of togetherness
00:25:20
you know if any of you have spent time
00:25:22
in Jakarta
00:25:24
and contemplate a little bit our city is
00:25:28
actually a somewhat segregated cities
00:25:32
where there is kampung
00:25:35
back
00:25:36
crowded hot humid
00:25:38
and then you have complex in which you
00:25:40
know the area in which nice housing were
00:25:43
there and then you have
00:25:45
uh
00:25:47
men business districts
00:25:49
with nice offices and the next Lady of
00:25:52
Slum area
00:25:53
so there is that segregation without us
00:25:57
realizing and it's naturally evolved so
00:26:00
you know as as someone who took this
00:26:03
responsibility I thought we need to
00:26:06
address this problem
00:26:07
we should not let this problem continue
00:26:10
but the way to address it is not in a
00:26:14
traditional way so our approach in in
00:26:18
addressing this issue is by
00:26:20
creating this public transport
00:26:23
and when public transport were operating
00:26:26
it is a facility that create equal
00:26:30
treatment
00:26:31
you may be CEO you may be a governor you
00:26:34
may be a a mayor when you enter an MRT
00:26:38
when you enter a bus you will stand on
00:26:40
the same line you will sit on the same
00:26:43
chair you will stand on the same car and
00:26:45
there is no business loans there is no
00:26:48
business class it's all equal in any
00:26:51
City like Jakarta that is a rare
00:26:53
experience
00:26:55
even when you go to malls
00:26:58
many of you noticed Arya
00:27:02
there are three malls in Brunei
00:27:04
one is
00:27:06
Indonesia
00:27:08
the second is Gran Indonesia and the
00:27:11
third
00:27:12
any of you knows the third malls
00:27:16
uh
00:27:18
Cameron city right
00:27:20
Tamarind City
00:27:21
yes there is there is ex2 north of it
00:27:25
so those who come to Tamarind city did
00:27:29
not dare to enter Plaza Indonesia
00:27:32
and the same thing those who come to
00:27:34
Plaza Indonesia didn't even look at
00:27:36
Amarin City this is a completely
00:27:38
different segment of our society
00:27:41
what we'd like to do is to create space
00:27:44
that give a feeling of equality that
00:27:47
create a feeling of of
00:27:50
unity and that's why we built many what
00:27:54
we call third space
00:27:57
let me wipe this
00:28:01
so third space in the case of Jakarta
00:28:04
was this
00:28:05
first place is at home second space is
00:28:07
at work
00:28:11
and the third space is our
00:28:14
common
00:28:16
space
00:28:18
this is a space and in the bus
00:28:22
this has been mostly provided by private
00:28:25
sectors and when private sectors create
00:28:27
third space they have to create a
00:28:30
certain Market targeting they could not
00:28:33
create just for anyone
00:28:35
uh and that's why we're doing reforms
00:28:40
public transport
00:28:41
to Parks three sidewalks that all were
00:28:45
developed because we would like to build
00:28:48
a third space that unite a space that
00:28:51
create the feeling of of uh equality uh
00:28:55
to all we're talking about public
00:28:57
transport and then we build
00:28:59
uh public parks no less than 370 public
00:29:04
parks 29 Urban forests and the idea is
00:29:08
to make sure that our population
00:29:12
is able to find a third space that
00:29:16
create the feeling of equality even on
00:29:19
pedestrian pedestrian may look uh
00:29:23
may look uh
00:29:26
nothing new for you in Singapore but in
00:29:29
in Jakarta for example we didn't have
00:29:32
sidewalk for so many years
00:29:34
we've been outside walks for so many
00:29:36
years and I remember coming to when I
00:29:39
come to office I had gathering with all
00:29:41
our staff we have a meeting on this and
00:29:43
on transportation and I asked a simple
00:29:46
questions uh what trans what kind of
00:29:50
Transportation tools everyone has and
00:29:53
the answer was motorcycles
00:29:55
and I said no it's your food
00:29:59
our food is our number one
00:30:01
Transportation tools and if we in
00:30:03
government assume that
00:30:06
Transportation tools has to be with
00:30:09
wheels then we only build a road we
00:30:12
don't build sidewalks so we build
00:30:14
sidewalks and when we started building
00:30:16
sidewalks of course the reaction was
00:30:18
quite strong because you're you're
00:30:20
taking up space for cars
00:30:24
was the most obvious but we didn't
00:30:26
develop only in German
00:30:28
uh no less than I think it's if not I'm
00:30:31
if I'm if I'm not mistaken it was around
00:30:33
240 kilometers of sidewalks across
00:30:38
across the city
00:30:41
241 kilometers to be exact of sidewalks
00:30:45
across the city a bike Lanes
00:30:48
so we try to sort of sift the Paradigm
00:30:52
that in a city
00:30:55
we need to have public transport we need
00:30:58
to have sidewalks we need to have a
00:31:01
bicycle Lanes in a modern city settings
00:31:04
so that has been our approach anyway I I
00:31:08
went quite lengthy on the issue of
00:31:11
Mobility because this is one of the most
00:31:13
pressing issue in Jakarta now education
00:31:17
I'm not going to go too far on this but
00:31:20
what we did was enrollment system
00:31:27
it was reform
00:31:29
so now we will we are seeing our schools
00:31:33
having more diverse students what I mean
00:31:36
by diverse is this in the past many of
00:31:39
our schools especially those who are
00:31:42
being
00:31:43
uh you know being uh
00:31:45
uh suggested by the general public as
00:31:48
good schools were only enrolling or
00:31:51
accepting students from a privileged
00:31:54
families now everyone has equal
00:31:57
opportunity that's on their enrollment
00:31:59
part and but this
00:32:02
we will not be able to see the result in
00:32:04
the next two to three years
00:32:06
the result will be in the next decades
00:32:08
when we started to see them moving up
00:32:10
the ladder in the social economic ladder
00:32:14
and then on health uh it used to be
00:32:17
around 73 of jakartans covered by health
00:32:20
insurance now it's 99 it's our
00:32:24
commitment
00:32:25
our approach is this anyone come to
00:32:27
hospital they didn't have insurance
00:32:29
immediately you're Comfort if you have
00:32:31
Jakarta ID
00:32:33
so we are registering everyone and we
00:32:36
required
00:32:37
is the
00:32:40
head of sub-sub-districts
00:32:42
okay they have to make sure that all the
00:32:46
residents within their area were 100
00:32:48
covered by health insurance
00:32:51
if we found anyone not covered they
00:32:54
their performance uh report will be
00:32:59
marked
00:33:01
and if it is marked your pay will be
00:33:03
reduced
00:33:05
so they're working very hard to make
00:33:07
sure that their population is fully
00:33:08
covered and with that we're able to
00:33:10
cover 99 why it's not 100 percent
00:33:13
this is what happened so many people who
00:33:16
used to live in Jakarta were relocating
00:33:18
to outside the city they did not want to
00:33:21
give away their katipe
00:33:24
so if you use
00:33:26
you move to Depot you still want to keep
00:33:30
jakartakatipi for whatever reason there
00:33:32
is and because of that they are always
00:33:35
disturbing our statistics in a way
00:33:39
is any of you keeping Jakarta ID
00:33:42
yeah because so many are having uh that
00:33:45
and then the last unemployment our
00:33:48
approach is uh is uh helping small
00:33:51
businesses micro businesses uh to have
00:33:53
access to Market
00:33:55
and we have a program called Jack
00:33:57
brainer
00:33:58
but the idea is
00:34:00
linking them to the market assisting
00:34:03
them with financing with Management
00:34:05
training with mentoring so that they can
00:34:08
grow and we're grateful that we have
00:34:12
grown micro businesses up to the number
00:34:14
of around
00:34:16
380 thousands
00:34:19
uh in the past five years and they are
00:34:22
very much benefiting from the digital
00:34:25
Market that is growing in our city
00:34:27
uh
00:34:28
we have a project of giving away eumca
00:34:34
um guys
00:34:37
and tax ID
00:34:39
so many of those household uh
00:34:43
household entrepreneurs they didn't have
00:34:46
permits they didn't have tax ID because
00:34:49
of that they're not able to participate
00:34:52
in this digital Market
00:34:54
and why they could not have the the the
00:34:56
the permits and the tax ID because they
00:34:59
are operating in an in a zone that
00:35:02
according to government is not for
00:35:04
business
00:35:05
but this is household you know like
00:35:07
you're you're making cookies you're
00:35:10
making you know uh food for breakfast
00:35:13
for lunch it's not the traditional
00:35:16
business it used to be so we then bypass
00:35:18
that and saying that as long as it is
00:35:21
micro and ultra micro then you can
00:35:24
operate anywhere in the city and we give
00:35:26
away the permits so uh and this is also
00:35:29
because of the pandemic uh we we we sort
00:35:32
of a waive that requirement
00:35:34
from 80 thousands I'm sorry 58 000 to
00:35:39
252 thousands uh business permits were
00:35:44
given in the past two years this is
00:35:46
during the pandemic anyway
00:35:48
let me end here
00:35:50
uh but let me uh not conclude but give
00:35:53
underlying issue here we have big
00:35:56
challenges such as climate change we
00:35:59
have big sales like making more livable
00:36:01
cities but we have also challenged uh
00:36:04
demand for the public
00:36:06
to address these four basic issues
00:36:10
living costs health education employment
00:36:14
in a city
00:36:16
that is complex like Jakarta we cannot
00:36:19
say we can only address one or two we
00:36:22
have to address all
00:36:24
and we have to address it in ways that
00:36:27
solving living costs is also solving
00:36:31
climate change problem
00:36:34
solving the issue of Mobility is also
00:36:39
solving the issue of unity the creating
00:36:43
the feeling of equality so all needs to
00:36:46
be linked to one another
00:36:48
anyway let me end uh my opening here and
00:36:52
I'm happy to entertain any comment
00:36:53
questions yes you have thank you one two
00:36:56
one two three four
