In 3 days, Jakarta PMPTSP can verify more than 21,000 proposals because it still operates even on national holidays and weekends.

From total proposals received by PMPTSP, only 8.6 percent or 4,265 proposals that met the requirements thus SIKM could be issued electronically; 76.9 percent or 38,052 proposals were rejected; while 2,642 proposals should wait for validation by the guarantor.

"We remind people to be wiser in applying for SIKM because PMPTSP often find request that don't meet the requirements for SIKM. Such as applicants whose work is not related with 11 sectors that allowed to operate in Jakarta," she mentioned.
