TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Jakarta government has prepared prizes for its athletes who win medals at the 2018 Asian Games, including money and an offer to become civil servants (PNS).
Jakarta Sports and Youth Agency head Ratiyono said the promotion as PNS was specifically presented to athletes who secured gold and silver medals. "Not for bronze medalists," said Ratiyono on Monday, August 27.
The city government, Ratiyono added, would hand out the prize money worth Rp300 million for gold medalists. The government is currently coordinating with the Indonesia National Sports Committee (KONI) to list athletes from Jakarta who won medals at the 2018 Asian Games.
