JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono held a meeting with a number of employers' associations based in Jakarta to discuss the implementation of the 43rd ASEAN Summit (KTT).

During the meeting, Heru did not instruct private companies to participate in implementing a work from home (WFH) system for some employees such as ASN.

"No (instructing WFH). They manage themselves. I ask for associations, the results are not yet known. They are the ones who manage," said Heru at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Thursday, August 24.

However, Heru reminded them to adjust the mechanism for their employees' work activities during the ASEAN Summit. Given that there was traffic engineering on a number of roads when the meeting forum for the country's delegation was running.

"We urge them to regulate themselves in the context of the readiness of the ASEAN Summit. The meeting is to (discuss) open and close lanes, not work from home," said Heru.

"So there are 29 routes that open and close, so it is uncomfortable for residents who will carry out activities on September 4, 5, 6, 7," he added.

The DKI Provincial Government and the Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya are planning a number of adjustments to activities in Jakarta during the ASEAN Summit, the series starting from September 2 to 7, 2023.

To minimize congestion in Jakarta, 50 percent of ASN in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government do not serve the community directly in carrying out work from home (WFH). Private companies are also advised to adjust the work mechanism of their employees.

Later, there will be situational traffic engineering on 29 roads during the ASEAN 43rd Summit series. This road section is a route that is closed when the state delegation travels to the location of the activity. Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, said that road closures can be carried out for 2 hours.

"There are 29 roads that will be traffic engineering. On the way from the delegation to the location of the activity, this closure can be up to 2 hours. For example, the delegation will depart at 7.00, then at 6.30 to 08.30 there will be road closures," said Syafrin at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Wednesday, September 23.

Especially on September 6, 2023, the closure was also carried out on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman in both directions from the Youth Statue Building Segment to the Semanggi Interchange. The closure of this road takes effect from 18.00 to 22.00 WIB.
