KONTAN.CO.ID – JAKARTA. The plan to implement the Jakarta PSBB volume 2 continues to provoke pros and cons, including from the business community.
Indonesia’s richest man Robert Budi Hartono sent a letter to President Joko Widodo. In his letter, Budi Hartono rejected the re-application of the Jakarta PSBB.
As we know, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan plans to reimpose Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) in Jakarta. Anies revealed that the DKI Jakarta provincial government will re-enforce the PSBB on Monday, September 14 2020.
The argument for the Jakarta PSBB policy plan volume 2 is that the number of positive cases of Covid-19 has increased. In addition, Anies also argued that the capacity of hospitals in DKI Jakarta was already at maximum.
Budi Hartono’s objection letter to the planned implementation of the Jakarta PSBB, dated September 11, 2020, was posted on the Instagram account of Peter F. Gontha (@petergontha).
“Budi Hartono’s letter from the richest person in Indonesia to the President of the Republic of Indonesia in September 2020,” wrote @petergontha accompanied by an attachment to Budi Hartono’s letter, Saturday (12/9 /).
Budi Hartono made a number of suggestions. According to Budi Hartono, the decision to re-enforce the Jakarta PSBB was incorrect. The reason is that the implementation of the Jakarta PSBB has proven ineffective in reducing the growth rate of infections in the capital city.

“In Jakarta, although the DKI Jakarta government has issued PSBB, the infection growth rate continues to rise,” the letter said.
In addition, according to Budi, the capacity of hospitals in DKI Jakarta will still reach the maximum capacity or the Jakarta PSBB will not be enforced anymore because the number of cases continues to soar.

Therefore, the local and central governments should continue to prepare independent isolation areas to handle the spike in cases. He took the example of Port Singapore, which built the capacity of an air-conditioned isolation container in anticipation of a surge in conditions that needed medical treatment.
According to him, this kind of facility can be built and built in a short period of time, or less than two weeks, because it utilizes existing containers, so it only remains to install air conditioning and stairs.
PSBB Jakarta starting September 14, 2020
DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan decided to tighten the enforcement of the PSBB policy in Jakarta. This step was taken to reduce the transmission rate in the DKI Jakarta area, which has increased sharply in the last few days.
According to Anies, if the decision he calls the emergency brake policy is not taken, health facilities in Jakarta will be threatened with collapse.
