He appreciated and welcomed the prototype of the electric rickshaw that was handed over to Jakarta Provincial Government.
"Thank you for the gift," he stated.
He added the proposals and solutions for using electrical energy will make it easier for those who work to offer environmental transportation services.

Meanwhile, Hanafi Rais wanted to help the city government presents alternative transportation modes.
"Of course, we also have to wait for official regulations," he said.
