Basuki Asks Public Services to Be Closer to Citizens

“The arrangement is done by respective regional working unit (SKPD), without disrespecting the honorary to religious holiday. Thus, all public services run as usual, like healthcare services, TransJakarta bus, security by Satpol PP, fire and disaster handling department officers, all standby,” he uttered.
