Mini Park (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - Chief of Presidential Staff Moeldoko asked the management of Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) to prepare for the transition period that began. He also requested that the transition of management from Harapan Kita Foundation to the government be done transparently.

"Everything must be transparent, so that there are no problems," Moeldoko said in his written statement Monday, April 12.

He also mentioned, the government is currently preparing state-owned tourism to manage TMII. Several plans have been prepared, including improving the function of the platform for social, cultural, and technological innovators.

"To open a common space for technology enthusiasts to bring Indonesia to industry 4.0," he said.

Moeldoko also hopes tmii can be a place of study, research, and development of civilization of Indonesian cultural tribes.

"That way, visitors who come can imagine the breadth of Indonesia consisting of various tribes, cultures, and religions. Then there is no longer talk of differences in ethnicity, culture, religion, but talk of unity and unity," he explained.

On the other hand, Moeldoko also said that the management of TMII in the future could make a greater contribution to the country. Moreover, this area has 146.7 hectares and has economic potential.

"TMII can be developed into a force in contributing more to the State," he said.

In accordance with the direction of Presidential Regulation No. 19 of 2021 on The Management of Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Moeldoko said, the government prepared three months for the transition.

In addition, the technical management of TMII will also involve audit results from the Audit Board of Finance (BPK) and the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).

In addition, Moeldoko also ensures the fate of TMII employees will be formulated well with efficient measures. Through this way, TMII employees will have high flexibility with a strategic environment.

During a visit to TMII, Moeldoko also remembered that he often invited families from the area to visit TMII. Moeldoko and the experts of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP) and tmii managers went around looking at the current condition of the 'Miniatur Indonesia' infrastructure.

Previously, there were several reasons behind the takeover of TMII from the sandalwood family. First of all, financial matters. Before it was decided to be taken over, the Audit Board of Finance (BPK), the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP), as well as the legal team of the Faculty of Law of Gadjah Mada University (UGM) had conducted a financial audit.

The audit concluded the need for better management of TMII. The takeover is believed to increase TMII's contribution to the country financially. Apparently, for 44 years, TMII did not deposit money into the state treasury. TMII's revenue is always minus.

"There are findings from bpk from January 2021, this is for the report of the results of the examination 2020. The recommendation is that there should be better management of the Ministry of Finance on the assets owned by the country," said Secretary of the Ministry of Finance Setya Utama.

"So far there has been nothing to the country ... He said minus, subsidized by YHK, can be confirmed to the Management Agency," he added.

This financial situation is a problem. If referring to other state assets, such as Gelora Bung Karno or Kemayoran area, both always deposit money to the state treasury in the form of non-tax state revenues (PNBP).
