JAKARTA - Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi plays guitar and invites ship passengers to sing the song "Kolam Susu" belonging to the legendary band Koes Plus while visiting Kali Adem Port, Muara Angke, North Jakarta.

Sunday, January 2 morning, Minister of Transportation Budi boarded a traditional boat that was already full of passengers and was about to depart for the Thousand Islands, Jakarta.

While talking to passengers, the Minister of Transportation saw a boy carrying a black guitar and borrowing the guitar.

The Minister of Transportation started strumming the guitar and singing the song "Kolam Susu" which was then followed by the ship's passengers.

"'It's not the ocean, it's just a pond of milk. A hook and a net are enough to support you...'" the Minister of Transportation sang together with the passengers.

The Minister of Transportation made a working visit to the Kali Adem Port to monitor transportation control during the 2022 New Year holiday.

The Minister of Transportation also traveled the sea around Muara Angke using the Marine and Coast Guard Unit (KPLP) ship.

Based on observations, hundreds of prospective passengers were seen crowding the Departure Pier of Kali Adem Port to depart for the Thousand Islands.

Monitoring of health protocols at the Departure Pier of Kali Adem Port is carried out strictly through checking and arranging queues when passengers scan the available barcode before entering the ship with the PeduliLindung application.

All ship passengers going to the Thousand Islands are required to scan the barcode, and maintain social distance to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 to the public during the 2022 New Year holiday.
