00:00The investigation center will be closed by June, according to the previous report.
00:15So this is probably the busiest and busiest center that will come.
00:21So how do you address the issue of suspicion?
00:26How do you address the issue of suspicion?
00:57There are 2-3 schools nearby.
01:00Sometimes, because of the queue, the bus can't get in.
01:07There are teachers and parents complaining to me.
01:10Their children or teachers can't get to school on time because it's jammed outside.
01:16So that's why we've decided to move this area.
01:19And Puspakon has agreed to move to Bukit Peruntung.
01:24A new area is being built in Bukit Peruntung.
01:28And the original plan was to move this area by the end of June.
01:34By the end of June, this area will be moved to another location.
01:39But the construction is not finished yet.
01:41And what is our plan here?
01:43Our plan here, together with the regional government of JBJ,
01:49we want to rebuild the TOD.
01:51To re-plan this situation.
01:53And the process is being carried out by RST.
01:58So there is no award yet.
02:00So because of that, there is no award yet,
02:06there is no plan to rebuild this premises.
02:10And their area in Bukit Peruntung is not ready yet.
02:14So the regional government has agreed to continue for another year.
02:18Meaning, by next year.
02:22They are ready to move there.
02:24And of course, by next year, there may be other locations
02:29that can be used for vehicle inspection.
02:31So there is no need to have a need here.
02:34Only then will we move this area.
02:37So in short, this area will be operated until next year.
02:422026, 30 June.
