TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta City Administration has cancelled this year’s free homecoming program for both public and civil servant. It is because plenty private sector corporates have done the same program.
Deputy Governor, Djarot Saiful Hidayat, said that the free homecoming program by private sector is enough to transport the homecoming mass. "We estimated that the program can transport 100,000 people in homecoming season,” said Djarot on Wednesday July 1.
Djarot then revealed that he also plans to join the homecoming season, two days before Eid . "I plan to leave to Surakarta, before continuing my trip to Blitar and Surabaya," he said.
Djarot added that he longs for a family reunion. "I have seven kids and 37 grandkids," he said.
