SERANG - Trade Minister Zulkifli Hasan (Minister of Trade Zulhas) revealed that his experience of staying at the Ministerial Office (RTJM) of the Capital City of the Archipelago (IKN), East Kalimantan.

He said the house had been filled with clean water.

Previously, Zulhas accompanied President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to groundbreaking the development of a number of infrastructures in the State Capital (IKN), East Kalimantan, last Wednesday, June 5.

Together with Jokowi and other ministers, Zulhas stayed at the ministerial official residence.

"There is (clean water), how about taking a shower (if there is no water)," he told reporters, in Serang, Banten, Thursday, June 6.

Zulhas assessed that the minister's house in IKN was fairly good. In fact, he also said the development carried out exceeded the initial achievement target.

For your information, the entire minister's house building in IKN has been completed. Now, the work is only finishing the interior that has not been completed

"The house is good. Now what is being done is beyond the target," he said.

In addition, Zulhas also said that the air in IKN is still very fresh. There is even no pollution.

Zulhas predicts that if the IKN development has been completed in its entirety, it will be like Washington DC, United States.

"You can make (the exercise) run, be healthy, the air is fresh, just not all of them. But I think if it becomes like Washington DC. Be proud of Indonesians," he said.

Therefore, Zulhas did not agree if someone criticized the development of IKN.

He said that those who criticize need to feel directly staying at IKN.

"If there are people who don't agree with IKN, come first, come first for the night, look, feel, think about it, new, don't ever see it, never come, never feel like they keep getting angry, cursing. Look at it like a high-speed train
