JAKARTA - Commission V of the DPR RI postponed a coordination meeting with partners discussing the readiness of infrastructure and transportation in the context of Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026 (Nataru). This meeting was postponed because the Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi was unable to attend.
Based on the schedule, the DPR Commission V coordination meeting with partners, namely the Minister of Public Works; Minister of Transportation; Head of BMKG and BNPP are scheduled at 13.00 WIB.
Chairman of Commission V DPR Lasarus revealed that the Minister of Transportation, Dudy Purwagandhi, asked for permission from Commission V of the DPR to attend a meeting because he had to visit the airport in the Sumatra area which was affected by the flood.
"Starting last night, we received information that in Sumatra there are some that cannot be accessed properly. So, the Minister of Transportation as the leader of Nataru asked for permission from last night. This morning he flew with the Director General of Air to the disaster site in North Sumatra, Aceh, and West Sumatra," he told reporters at the DPR Building, Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, December 2.
Lasarus said, Commission V of the DPR agreed to postpone the meeting considering that conditions on the ground were more important.

"Therefore, because we consider the field to be much more important than our meeting here, we decided that this meeting would be postponed. Why is it postponed? Because the leader is the Minister of Transportation for Nataru," he said.
Lasarus said the Minister of Transportation, Dudy Purwagandhi, had taken care of the Deputy Minister of Transportation Suntana to attend the meeting. However, the presence of the minister is also considered important.
Therefore, said Lasarus, the leadership and members of Commission V of the DPR agreed to postpone this Nataru coordination meeting.
"Here there is the Minister of Public Works and all Heads of the Agency. It's not that we don't respect the Deputy Minister, but we ask that later the Minister of Transportation be responsible to the DPR. Because we have people's representations, so the leadership and members decided earlier, we have postponed this meeting," he said.
