He hoped that professional regional property management could be one of the supporting elements in maintaining an Unqualified Opinion (WTP) set by the Indonesian Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) on the financial statements of the Jakarta Provincial Government.

It was also to maximize the planning and use of regional property in order to provide quality public services, both managed professionally following the Management of Regional Property, namely, functional, legal, transparency, efficiency, accountability, and value certainty.

"Optimizing the use of local property can increase local revenue and regional economic growth. Thus, it is capable of increasing the efficiency of local property," he explained.

Related to the main points of the draft bylaw from PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya. he explained that PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya is a Regional-Owned Enterprise (BUMD) that aims to assist and support the general policies of the Jakarta Government in food security and improving people's welfare, especially related to staple foods and their processed products, as well as contributing to Jakarta's economic growth.

"In its development, PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya has become one of the local government instruments in realizing the availability, affordability, and fulfillment of sufficient, safe, quality, and nutritionally balanced food consumption," he explained.

He explained that PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya carries out business activities in the fields of distribution, sales, warehousing services, warehousing in warehouse receipts, shopping services, and food transportation professionally and technical mastery from upstream to downstream activities.

"That's why they need to adapt by adding more types and business activities," he added.

To improve the BUMD management which is regulated in Government Regulation No. 54/2017 on BUMD, it was necessary to synchronize the Establishment Bylaw, either in the juridical or business aspects through the Bylaw on Establishment which regulates the new nomenclature of a Limited Liability Company to become a Regional Company.

He hoped that those draft bylaws could soon be approved by the legislative into a bylaw.

“Given the importance and strategic importance of discussing the draft bylaws, the executive hopes that thelegislative can immediately conduct discussions to approve it as a bylaw," he stated.
