"So, we, from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, are very supportive of course regarding the provision of incentives. Currently, all BUJTs are reviewing the possibility or amount that can be given during this Lebaran homecoming, but there have been several responses to us," said Triono in the Mudik discussion.
