“Everything runs as usual, hospitals too. The public service closed is only polyclinic, but emergency room (UGD) still opens for 24-hour,” he stated, Tuesday (7/22).
Meanwhile, Head of Jakarta Personnel Board (BKD), I Made Karmayoga, said that Jakarta Provincial Government still gives the civil servants opportunity to go on Eid holliday. But for those whose work related to public services, their absence will be arranged. Thus, public services can still run as usual.
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.
In addition, Karmayoga urges the civil servants not to extend their Eid holiday. This is because Jakarta Provincial Government has given them a quite long holiday.
“Work starts on August 4. That’s a very long holiday. We hope there would be no employees add more leave. It is not nice if the holiday is too long,” he told.
