Behind The Feasibility Of The TEAM After Revitalization, It Turns Out That The Planetarium Is Not Working Now
JAKARTA - It is revealed the fact that currently most of the facilities of the Planetarium and the Jakarta Observatory (POJ) in the Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) complex are not working.This is known from the results of the visit of members of Commission E of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, two days ago. Deputy Chairman of Commission E of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Anggara Wicitra Sastroamidjojo, regretted this condition.In fact, almost all objects as well as art and cultural performance buildings in TIM have been revitalized by Anies Baswedan when he was still the Governor of DKI Jakarta. The value of the revitalization budget reaches IDR 1.4 trillion."The “Planetarium, which is one of the main attractions of the community to come to TIM, has not actually functioned since the revitalization of the TIM," Anggara told reporters, Friday, March 10.Based on the results of the DPRD visit, a number of facilities at the Planetarium did not work. At the Star Theater performance, there was no repair or change of projectors. The seats in the theater were indeed replaced, but not the type of reclining seat needed in the show."We regret that the revitalization budget of the TIM which is quite fantastic does not touch this POJ as a whole. For example, the Bintang Theater has only been replaced with carpets and chairs but cannot run because the projector is not working,” he said.Anggara asked the DKI Provincial Government, in this case the Department of Culture and PT Jakarta Propertindo, which are responsible for the facilities in the TIM, to pay attention to the Planetarium Jakarta which has high education value.In the past, President Soekarno's Planetarium was dreamed of as a symbol that Jakarta is a modern city that has a concern for space science research."That's why since the TIM was built first, POJ has become an icon and has become an interesting means of public education. It's a shame that now it's a dead building in the midst of modernizing TIM," said Ara.
