JAKARTA - Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono's former partner in the previous DKI gubernatorial election, Sylviana Murni, now sits as a DKI Senator in the DPD RI. He requested that state assets in Jakarta not be sold when the State Capital (IKN) moved to East Kalimantan.

"Assets in DKI should not be sold, eventually they will be transferred to individual or private assets," said Sylviana in the seminar 'Organizing Jakarta after IKN Moves' in Jakarta, Friday, February 4.

The deputy of Committee III of DPD RI added that Jakarta is a historic city. Starting from the birth of the constitution of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) and a multicultural city.

Even though IKN has moved, he continued, Jakarta will still accept people who try their luck in Jakarta because of the multiculturalism aspect.

"Jakarta and the Betawi people are very egalitarian, tolerant. We want to make Jakarta a city that can accept all," he explained as quoted by Antara.

The former mayor of Central Jakarta hopes that Jakarta will become a future and sustainable city and have competitiveness for the people's welfare.

“We have e-assets. This asset should not be forgotten, we should not lose our assets," he said.

Previously, the Director of State Property (BMN) of the Directorate General of State Assets (DJKN) of the Ministry of Finance, Encep Sudarwan in Jakarta, Friday (28/1) said state-owned assets in Jakarta were estimated to reach Rp. 1,400 trillion.

However, of that amount that can be utilized when IKN moves, only around Rp. 300 trillion, because the majority of assets are in the form of regional offices, so even though IKN has moved the office will still operate in Jakarta.

Even so, Encep said, the mechanism for its utilization has not yet been determined.

There are six forms of BMN utilization, namely leasing, borrowing and using, cooperation in utilization and build for handover/build-over, cooperation in infrastructure provision and limited cooperation for infrastructure financing.
