Still Godok Discourse On Ragunan Night, Pramono: Not All Animals Can Be Looked At Night

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung admitted that the plan to open the Ragunan Wildlife Park can be visited at night is still being discussed at this time. The DKI Provincial Government is still detailing the mechanism for Ragunan's operation at night.

"Of course not all animals that can be found at night. For that, it will definitely be regulated," said Pramono at the Jakarta International Velodrome, East Jakarta, Tuesday, August 19.

Although it needs careful preparation, Pramono believes that the opening of Ragunan at night can be carried out. This is because many countries have applied it, such as Singapore, Korea, to Japan.

"If it is later opened, Ragunan will have an area of 127 hectares, compared to Singapore, which is only 28 hectares, then almost 5 times. Singapore can do it, it can also be opened at night," said Pramono.

This discourse, continued Pramono, will also only begin after the Ragunan Wildlife Park is revitalized. In its improvement, RAmono wants additional parking access for four-wheeled vehicles. Because, every weekend, Ragunan is always crowded with tourists.

Then if the parking access is added, then private cars will be prohibited from entering the zoo area.

Then, there will be additional buses to take tourists around the cages of the animals that are kept there.

"Later, private cars will not be allowed to enter. There are buses that are prepared, such as in developed countries," he added.

If Ragunan's night tour is operated, Pramono believes that Jakarta residents no longer need to travel to zoos at long distances like Safari Park.

"The place is better than Safari. Even closer and people don't need to stick to the top. So, thus making choices for Jakarta residents to enjoy it more and more," said Pramono some time ago.
