"New Jakarta Metro Begins Operations: Disappointment for Proposed Candidates Niluh Djelantik and Robi Navicula."

Title: Bali‘s Trans Metro Dewata Buses Cease Operations, Leaving Residents Disappointed

The island of Bali bids farewell to its public bus service, Trans Metro Dewata (TMD), as of January 1, 2025. The decision, announced via Instagram by @transmetrodewata on Wednesday, January 1, 2025, has left residents, including prominent figures like Robi Navicula and Niluh Djelantik, disheartened.

Why the Shutdown?

The cessation of TMD’s operations is attributed to the lack of subsidy from the State Budget (APBN) for 2025. Since its inception in 2020, TMD has been sustained by APBN subsidies. While the Bali Provincial Government (Pemprov) has assured that operational funds are included in the 2025 Provincial Budget (APBD), it’s only enough to cover one corridor. Currently, TMD serves six corridors in Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar, and Tabanan, under the Sarbagita scheme.

Public Outcry

Gede Robi, vocalist of the band Navicula, expressed his disappointment, stating, "A smart city should have accessible public transportation, subsidized by the government. If not, it’s more like a ‘stupid city’!" Niluh Djelantib, Bali’s DPD (Regional Representative Council) member, also vented her frustration on Instagram, @niluhdjelantik, urging authorities not to ignore public concerns.

Surya, a 54-year-old resident of Kelurahan Sading, Mengwi, Badung, echoed these sentiments. He relied heavily on TMD for his daily commute due to its affordability. Now, he’s left struggling with the high costs of alternative transportation.

Caught by Surprise

Many commuters were caught off guard by the sudden halt in operations. At Denpasar’s Terminal Ubung, dozens of TMD buses lined up, waiting for passengers who were unaware of the shutdown. Adi Santika Jaya, a 30-year-old father, had planned a family trip to Monkey Forest using TMD but had to change his plans. He lamented the lack of affordable public transport alternatives.

Looking Ahead

Residents like Surya eagerly await the government’s response, hoping for a swift replacement or reopening of the TMD service. Bali’s transportation landscape will undoubtedly face significant changes in the wake of this development.

Ahead of the Game: We’ve Started Before You’ve Even Begun

Presidential Address: Prabowo Speaks Out Against Elitist Deterrents

In his recent address at the National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2025-2029 workshop, President Prabowo Subianto took a moment to address certain portions of society that have been critical of his new administration, which has been in office for approximately two months.

Prabowo pointedly spoke about individuals who, despite their high-level educations and prestigious degrees, still maintain a self-deprecating mindset and often denigrate the government’s efforts. "They have PhDs from renowned institutions, yet their self-esteem remains low. They begin to criticize before we’ve even started working," Prabowo stated.

The President also noted that this mindset is not uncommon within Indonesia, with some individuals still struggling with self-doubt. He emphasized that there are those who consider themselves intelligent and, therefore, question the capabilities of their countrymen.

President Prabowo vowed that his administration will continue to strive for a clean and efficient government. He tasked his cabinet, both at the central and regional levels, with reducing budget leaks that ultimately harm Indonesian society. "Civil servants can greatly determine these leaks, and smuggled goods from abroad pose a threat to our nation’s sovereignty," he said.

Prabowo’s directives were delivered at the National Planning Ministry’s headquarters, with participation from Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, all cabinet ministers, the military and police chiefs, and parliamentary representatives from the MPR, DPR, and DPD. Several governors, regents, and mayors were also in attendance, either in person or via video conference.

As the administration looks ahead to the implementation of the RPJMN 2025-2029, President Prabowo’s call for unity and self-belief serves as a poignant reminder of the collective work required to propel Indonesia forward.

"Megawati’s Second Shot: Bintang Puspayoga Discusses Opportunities for PDIP Leadership"

by Chief Editor
written by Chief Editor

Headline:
PDIP‘s Congress in 2025: Megawati’s Return as Chairperson a Big Possibility, Says Bintang

Subhead:
Party plans democratic process for determining new leadership, dismisses corruption case impact.

Article:

In the heart of Bali, at the cantonment of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), whispers of the 2025 Congress have begun to echo. The possibility of Indonesia’s "Iron Lady," Megawati Soekarnoputri, returning as the party’s Chairperson has sparked keen interest, with many expecting a democratic and inclusive process.

Gusti Ayu Bintang Darmawati, better known as Bintang Puspayoga and currently heading the Women and Child Division of the Preparatory Committee for PDIP’s Congress (DPP), has hinted at the likelihood of Megawati’s re-election. "PDIP is a very democratic party," she said, detailing the bottom-up nomination process that begins with the grassroots and ascends through regional and provincial branches before reaching the Party Congress Assembly (MPC). "The opportunity and chance for a woman to lead PDIP is very open," Bintang, a former Minister of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection, assertively stated.

While Bintang emphasized Megawati’s potential return, she refrained from commenting further on other potential candidates. "That’s still in process," she said, emphasizing the internal nature of the party’s leadership determination.

PDIP, however, faces challenges ahead of the historic Congress. Recently, its Secretary-General, Hasto Kristiyanto, was named a suspect by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in connection with the Harun Masiku bribery case. Bintang, nonetheless, remains confident that this development will not impact the congress. "It doesn’t seem so," she said, attributing the matter to a different realm of concern.

Previously, Megawati has hinted at attempts to disrupt the upcoming party congress. Speaking at a book launch event in Jakarta, she mentioned that certain parties wished to impede the PDIP Congress but that her party’s members still desired her leadership. Initially expressing a willingness to retire, Megawati later explained, "If it’s still like this, and the members still want it, then I must continue [as the chairperson]."

As PDIP looks ahead to its 2025 Congress, the possibility of Megawati’s return looms large, fueled by the party’s democratic spirit and the widespread support of her membership. Despite recent challenges, PDIP remains steadfast in its preparations for another pivotal moment in its history.

"PDIP Jakarta Establishes Community Kitchen at Kemayoran Fire Site"

by Chief Editor
written by Chief Editor

Summary:

Jakarta — The Disaster Mitigation Agency (BAGUNA) of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) in Jakarta has established a communal kitchen and assistance post in the fire-stricken area of Kemayoran Gempol, Kebon Kosong RW 05, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta. This initiative aims to support the basic needs of victims, personnel, and volunteers affected by the fire that devastated around 200 houses in the Kemayoran district.

Head of BAGUNA PDI Perjuangan Jakarta, Hardiyanto Kenneth, expresses condolences for the devastating fire. He explains that BAGUNA PDI Perjuangan Jakarta will operate the assistance post and communal kitchen for the next seven days to support approximately 1,800 people who have lost their homes. This effort is a manifestation of their sympathy and concern, as well as that of the elected Governor and Vice-Governor of Jakarta, Mas Pramono Anung and Rano Karno.

Kenneth emphasizes that BAGUNA PDI Perjuangan Jakarta will consistently and sincerely assist disaster victims, adhering to the guidance of PDI Perjuangan Chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri. He hopes that the fire victims in Kebon Kosong RW 05, Kemayoran, can remain strong and patient in the face of this calamity.

Previously, the head of the Jakarta Provincial Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) reported that hundreds of families, or thousands of individuals, had been displaced due to a fire suspected to have been caused by an electrical short circuit in one of the houses. Kenneth also urges the Governor and Vice-Governor to address the long-standing issue of electrical short circuits, which frequently cause fires in densely populated areas.

Kenneth suggests that the Jakarta Provincial Government collaborate with various stakeholders to raise awareness about preventing electrical fires among the public, especially in densely populated areas. He believes that this socialization effort, if conducted appropriately and consistently, can enhance public awareness and reduce the frequency of fires, ultimately minimizing the regional government’s financial burden in assisting fire victims.

In densely populated areas, Kenneth proposes that boreholes can serve as an additional solution for firefighting, particularly when these areas are far from water sources such as rivers and canals.

Title: BAGUNA PDIP Jakarta’s Initiative: Establishing a Community Kitchen in the aftermath of Kemayoran Fire

The Jakarta chapter of the Partai Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan (PDIP), more commonly known as PDIP Jakarta, has shown remarkable commitment to their community following a devastating fire that struck the Kemayoran area. In response to this tragedy, the party has launched an initiative called BAGUNA (Bantuan Gotong Royongographically speaking). The primary aim of this program is to establishes a communal kitchen, dubbed the Bangun Dapur Umum (BDU), to provide hot meals for the affected families and volunteers working towards the recovery efforts.

Background: The Kemayoran Fire

On the night of March 13, 2023, a massive fire engulfed a cluster of buildings in the Kemayoran area of Jakarta. The blaze, which is suspected to have started in a scrapyard, quickly spread to neighboring residential and commercial structures, leaving hundreds of families displaced. In the aftermath, there was an urgent need for coordination and support to aid the affected communities and facilitate the rebuilding process.

PDIP Jakarta’s Response: BAGUNA

Seeing the pressing need, PDIP Jakarta promptly initiated BAGUNA. The program’s objectives are multifold: to provide immediate relief, foster solidarity, and promote self-sufficiency among the affected communities.

  1. Immediate Relief: BDU serves as a central hub where volunteers cook and distribute hot meals to those who have been displaced. Since its establishment, the communal kitchen has been serving up to 1,500 meals daily, ensuring that everyone affected has access to nutritious food while they attend to their urgent needs.

  2. Fostering Solidarity: BAGUNA brings together volunteers from various walks of life. They donate food, time, and resources, creating a strong sense of community and shared purpose. This collective effort helps foster unity and resilience among the affected residents and volunteers alike.

  3. Promoting Self-sufficiency: While the primary focus is on providing immediate relief, BAGUNA also aims to empower the affected communities to regain their independence. The communal kitchen serves as a platform for skill-building and entrepreneurship. Some volunteers are even teaching affected residents new cooking techniques, which can help them start small food businesses in the future.

Conclusion

PDIP Jakarta’s BAGUNA initiative stands as a testament to the power of community mobilization and support. In the face of tragedy, the party has stepped up to provide more than just immediate relief; they are investing in the long-term recovery and resilience of the Kemayoran community. The establishment of the Bangun Dapur Umum is not merely a communal kitchen; it is a symbol of hope, unity, and self-empowerment.

RIDO congratulated the third pair, Pramono Anung-Rano Karno, who had secured the lead. “We accept the results of the Jakarta Gubernatorial Election as declared by KPUD. We congratulate Mr. Pramono Anung and Mr. Rano Karno, who will lead Jakarta for the next five years,” said Ridwan Kamil during a press conference at the Jakarta Golkar Party’s office on Friday, December 13, 2024.

Ridwan Kamil also thanked all the candidates for a fair competition, extending his gratitude to the second pair, Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana. “Thank you for the competition, which has been a learning experience for us. We also thank Mr. Dharma Pongrekun and Mr. Kun Wardana, who competed alongside us. We hope that Mr. Pram and Mr. Rano can faithfully fulfill the aspirations of Jakarta’s residents,” he added.

The Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU) had officially announced the results, with Pramono-Rano winning with 50.07% of the vote, granting them victory in the first round. Notably, no other pair of candidates challenged the results in court.
