“We’ll investigate this accident before imposing punishment,” said Jakarta Governor, Basuki “Ahok” T Purnama, at City Hall, Friday (12/11).
According to Ahok, the building monitoring must also involve Jakarta Manpower and Transmigration Dept. He also intends to summon supervisor of related unit for questioning.

Based on temporary report, the lift gets maintenance from technical officer. Nevertheless, we have to find out it.
“As I heard, the lift wire is not broken off, but just off. Perhaps, there is a mistake in its installation,” he assumed.
In future, the building management will be appealed to routinely maintain the building.
“Please fix it up,” he stressed.
