JAKARTA - The downsizing of the number of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) continues. Now, it's Perum Damri's turn and the Djakarta Passenger Transport Public Company (Perum PPD).
The ministry plans to merge or merge the state-owned transportation companies. Deputy Minister of BUMN II Kartika Wirjoatmodjo said the merger plan would be carried out this year.
"We will merge Damri and PPD because they have the same function," he said at a Working Meeting with Commission VI DPR RI, Tuesday, May 7.
Not only that, Tiko explained, another reason is to strengthen the company's condition and focus more on improving performance. Because both companies were affected by the pandemic.
"And both of them are affected by COVID-19. So it would be better if we combine them so that we can reach a wider network," he said.
On that occasion, Tiko also said the Ministry of BUMB will also merge other companies, namely State Film Production (PFN). According to him, later PFN will be taken over by PT Telkom Indonesia.
"There is a plan for Telkom to take over PFN. We are currently reviewing it and seeing the ecosystem," he said.
The factor that influences the merger is PFN which will find it difficult to stand up in building the film ecosystem. "We see that seeing the PFN film ecosystem on its own is difficult. We will incorporate PFN into the ecosystem at Telkom for film production," he said.
By joining PFN into Telkom, Tiko continued, this will strengthen the national film ecosystem in the future. "We will incorporate PFN into the ecosystem at Telkom for film production which will later be shown on the Telkom platform through Maxstreem and Indihome," he said.
