In public cemeteries as wide as less than 5,000 square meters, the placard system will be applied in 150-150 tombs. While for cemeteries as wide as more than 5,000 square meters, the system will also be applied in 250-300 tombs, particularly in Joglo and Utan Jati.

According to her, indeed the system is not yet applied in the entire cemetery. Hence, her party urged the heirs to be willing to change the tombs using placard system.

Hasni added, Rp 200 million has been allocated to smoothen the project. "Citizens don't need to worry, this project is free due to we have allocated the fund," he disclosed.
