Meanwhile, he explained, the 24-hour hotline program would improve previous government services in order to be more real close to residents.

If abroad, for example in England there is a police phone number 999 often appears in film scenes, once gercep comes. We want the Bogor City Government to have a minimum service to answer residents' complaints about the environment, input, administration," he said.
