JAKARTA - Directorate General of Land Transportation, Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) and PT Industri Jamu and Pharmacy Sido Muncul Tbk (SIDO) modify public facilities at Terminal Type A Leuwipanjang, Bandung. This cooperation effort was carried out to build socio-economic conditions and improve the quality of life of the community.

The cooperation was marked by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by both parties. This collaboration lasted for five years and could be extended or terminated with the consent of both parties.

Secretary of the Directorate General of Land Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation Amirulloh said that the plan is that there will be many activities at the terminal not only to go up and down passengers, but also social, cultural and economic functions.

The modification of these public facilities will be carried out in the shops, trade, canteen, and information facilities that will be used by MSME traders with designs that have been mutually agreed to carry out the branding sponsorship.

"Modified public facilities at the Type A Leuwipanjang Terminal which focuses on empowering the community and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the economic sector," he said in a written statement, quoted Thursday, October 12.

In addition, Sido Muncul will also facilitate the legal entity for cooperatives to MSME entrepreneurs who will occupy kiosks, tenants and/or booths in supporting Sido Muncul's branding sponsorship.

"This collaboration is one of the important steps in facing challenges and opportunities in the passenger transport terminal sector, which is currently not only intended to ride and drop passengers," said Amirulloh.

He also hopes that the modification of public facilities and commercial terminal areas will not only be in the city of Bandung.

"Hopefully, this will not stop in Bandung City, but there will be sustainability. Later not only inside, above the terminal there will also be the words Sido Muncul," he said.

Meanwhile, SIDO Tiur Simamora's Corporate Secretary & Legal welcomes this collaboration and hopes to increase the value of the terminal in the eyes of the public.

"So that it can be used by the community. And of course to raise the image from the terminal," said Tiur.

After the signing of the joint agreement, there will be a follow-up by making the Goods Grant Agreement from Sido Muncul which is the result of the modification of public facilities at the Type A Leuwipanjang Passenger Terminal to the Directorate General of Land Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation.
