Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk (GOTO) again gave shocking news. The company announced the sale of PT Sumber Alfaria Trijaya Tbk (AMRT) shares.

So, who owns Alfamart?
Who doesn’t know Alfamart, a retail store that today is a place for people to shop. The shops providing daily necessities have spread to 18,000 shops across Indonesia.
It is known that the founder and owner of Alfamart is Djoko Susanto. He has even been named one of the richest people in Indonesia due to the success of his business.
