JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono appointed Azas Tigor Nainggolan as Commissioner of PT LRT Jakarta. Tigor is an urban policy observer who often criticizes Anies Baswedan's policies when he was still the Governor of DKI Jakarta. The appointment of Azas Tigor as a Commissioner of BUMD for transportation was carried out in the decision of shareholders (KPPS) outside the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders dated March 21, 2023. "There is a change in the composition of the Board of Commissioners of PT LRT Jakarta. The composition of the Board of Commissioners of PT LRT Jakarta is currently President Commissioner Iwan Takwin, Commissioner Mr. Romy Bareno, and Commissioner Mr. Azas Tigor Nainggolan," wrote a statement on the official website of the Jakarta LRT, quoted on Friday, March 24. Azas Tigor is now replacing Tatak Ujiyati who was removed from the position of Commissioner of the LRT as of November 14, 2022. Tatak is a former member of the DKI Jakarta Governor's Team for the Acceleration of Development (TGUPP) during Anies' tenure. The composition of the board of directors for this subsidiary of PT Jakarta Propertindo (Perseroda) has not changed. The President Director of LRT is held by Hendri Saputra, as well as two Directors of the LRT, namely Aditia Kesuma Negara Dalimunthe and Sahurdi. "This change in composition is part of the commitment of the Jakarta LRT to continue to transform into a public transportation service provider company that is increasingly at the forefront of the modern electric train sector and the development of the company's business in the future," he wrote. For information, in the 2017-2022 period, Anies was often criticized by Azas Tigor for various Jakarta problems, such as the infiltration well program, the Rp0 DP house, and Transjakarta bus accidents. Azas Tigor was also an advocacy team for the lawsuit of residents of the Jakarta flood victims (class action) in 2020 who demanded compensation from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. Azas Tigor also quipped Anies who was considered to have plagiarized the slogan "Jakarta Success for Indonesia" by Heru Budi into the narrative of Anies' 2024 presidential election campaign.
