Acting Jakarta Governor Teguh Setyabudi was accompanied by PT Jakarta Propertindo Director Iwan Takwin and PT LRT Jakarta Director Hendry Saputra distributed Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) at SDIT Al Ihsan, Kebagusan, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, Thursday (10/24).

We saw students enjoying the MBG

As many as 700 MBG packages were distributed to students through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of PT LRT Jakarta (Jakarta Propertindo Group).

Acting Governor Teguh appreciates the support of PT Jakpro and its subsidiaries in making the MBG trial a success. Today is Jakpro's second involvement as an effort to fulfill the nutrition of Jakarta's children.

Teguh said that Jakpro did not only think about the number of package portions, but also the nutritional content and food security in synergy with South Jakarta Health Sub-agency.

"We saw students enjoying the MBG. Today's menu was fried rice with fried chicken, shredded egg, vegetables, omelet and fruit. Each package has a value of 411 kcal. As part of food security, the food packages arrived at 5:30 AM at South Jakarta Health Sub-agency," Teguh said, as quoted from Jakarta Provincial Government's press release.

Moreover, Teguh also appreciated the involvement of PT Jakarta Tourisindo (JXB) for providing the food in today's MBG trial. Teguh added that JXB was able to answer the challenge to provide different menu at each trial location.

"The menus are always varied and creative without neglecting nutritional value. The food package is also packed with an environmentally friendly paper box whose waste management is in collaboration with the 68 Kebagusan Waste Bank from the South Jakarta Community," he added.

The MBG trial activity at the 12th point is a form of full support from the Jakarta Provincial Government for the National Strategic Program (PSN) plan from the central government. Jakarta Provincial Government has distributed 10,448 MBG packages to students with various food menus up to now.

"We are still waiting for policies and guideline from the central government regarding the MBG program, so we must maintain this. We hope that Jakarta will become a role model or example for other regions for the MBG program," Teguh stated.
