JAKARTA. Ministry of State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) targets to apply electronic payment system to all the gates of toll roads, which are managed by PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk by the end of 2016. The ministry has given instruction to Jasa Marga to meet the target. According to Minister of SOE Rini Soemarno, the cash less payment will reduce crime rate, as well as simplify the payment process at the toll road gates. In the future, Rini expects that other toll roads’ managements will follow Jasa Marga in terms of implementing e-toll payment. This plan has dragged toll road’s employees to uncertain condition, on the grounds that they may lose their jobs. Recently, Indonesian Toll Road Employees Association (APJATSI) and Indonesian Workers Unions Association (ASPEK) have submitted an objection over the policy.
