TEMPO.CO, Tangerang Selatan – The South Tangerang City Government will work on an optical cable installation project that is planted underground, aka ducting system. Tangsel Mayor Benyamin Davnie said his party would prioritize this program on three roads.

“The City Government has a program to make cable ducting, buried in the ground. We just haven’t been able to do it all, but prioritize it on several roads,” he said on Wednesday, March 29, 2023.

The three priority roads are Jalan Raya Parakan and Jalan Benda, Pamulang District and Jalan Raya Ciater, Serpong District. This program aims to overcome the clutter of optical cables in Tangsel.

According to him, the project will not use the Tangsel APBD. This is because installing cables with a ducting system will drain the regional treasury.

For this reason, Benyamin said, the City Government of South Tangerang will partner with the private sector to become investors as well as managers of this underground cable.

“That also depends, because this is an investment. If you use the APBD later, we will encourage third parties, but that’s communication with investors and network owners,” he explained.

The former Politician of the NasDem Party continued, the South Tangerang City Government will look for investors with an auction system. He said there was no specific mechanism to realize the auction.

Benyamin also did not specify when the auction would start and how much the project would cost. “The usual beauty contest, just go through the auction mechanism,” he said.

Previously, the City Government of South Tangerang through the Water Resources, Highways and Construction Services (SDABMBK) had summoned a number of telecommunications service provider companies aka providers on Wednesday, March 15, 2023. They discussed this underground optical cable program.

Sukabumi, Jabar (ANTARA) – The Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) of Sukabumi Regency guarantees the safety and comfort of investors who will invest or invest in Sukabumi Regency, West Java.

“We (Satpol PP) are committed to supporting investment in Sukabumi Regency by providing security and comfort guarantees for investors,” said Head of Sukabumi Regency Satpol PP Dodi Rukman Meidianto in Sukabumi, Wednesday (22/3).

He added that his party was also trying to make Sukabumi Regency an investment-friendly area. This step is part of the Sukabumi Regency Government to attract investors to come to the second largest district on the islands of Java and Bali.

According to Dodi, investors who want to invest are not only looking for profit, but also need guarantees of safety and comfort in investing.

With a conducive investment climate, it will be easier to attract investors to come to Sukabumi Regency. Of course, the presence of investors will help the community’s economy, such as reducing unemployment and poverty.

“Regions without investment will certainly find it difficult to develop, with investors investing their capital besides being able to increase regional original income, the community will also benefit,” he added.

However, his party also appealed to investors to always involve local residents to avoid social jealousy, because if they involve local indigenous people, various investment activities will run smoothly, safely and comfortably.

Jakarta – President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has granted permission for foreign investors to support the development of the West Java International Airport (BIJB) or Kertajati Airport. Currently there are a number of companies from three countries that have expressed interest, namely Saudi Arabia, India and Singapore.

This information was conveyed by the Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi in a press statement at the Presidential Office, Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta. He said that currently there are many parties interested in investing in the airport.

“With Kertajati’s capabilities, many investors are present, wanting to join there. We, together with the West Java Regional Government, will oversee what will be done there. Of course what is done is in accordance with the provisions,” he said, quoted from the Secretariat’s Youtube channel President, Saturday (25/3/2023).

Until now, the process that has been carried out has only reached the exploratory or due diligence stage, so it is not certain with what scheme these investors entered Kertajati Airport. Whether equity, joint venture, or by purchasing shares.

“This is in the due diligence stage being carried out by several companies, from Saudi Arabia, India and Singapore. I have already reported this. The president has also directed me that it can be carried out,” he said.

However, Jokowi also warned that foreign investors must comply with all existing regulations. Budi Karya also continues to hold discussions with West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil to ensure that there are no violations in the investment to be made.

“Remember that there are regulations that must be obeyed, you cannot run from there. I have also met with the Governor of West Java several times to discuss this so that there are no violations related to traffic,” he added.

As additional information, previously Budi Karya also conveyed this matter at the end of last year. He said that Saudi Arabian and Indian companies were interested in buying shares in PT West Java International Airport (PT BIJB). This is one of the ‘souvenirs’ brought by Budi Karya after making a series of visits to the Middle East and India.

“We made an offer together with the West Java Regional Government, offering us to discuss. From India and Saudi they are interested in buying shares from Kertajati,” said Budi Karya at the End of 2022 Press Conference at his office, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (27/12/2022) .

Budi Karya also believes, with the interest from the international community, Kertajati Airport will quickly grow big as an airport with an international brand. This airport will also be developed to transport cargo and also become a center for aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) workshops.

“The president really agrees that Kertajati can become MRO and also for cargo because it is near Patimban,” said Budi Karya.
