3 Batam Messages to President Jokowi, Complete Fligth Information Region (FIR) From Singapore

The practice in this field of inflow for goods between institutions is still not consolidated and neatly coordinated, even disorderly, also there is still a sectoral ego.

The policy that makes Mayor of Batam an ex officio must be intended as an effort to resolve all issues of legal certainty, especially regarding licensing, which has been overlapping or dualistic.

The licensing system must be ensured carried out simply, quickly, without complicated bureaucracy, and not high-cost.

Third, it is time for President Jokowi to make a strategic policy to make Batam waters a transhipment area.

The development of Batam waters as a transhipment area is more strategic than hunting for Batam Bintan bridge construction.

Five years ago, President promised to make Indonesia the world's maritime axis.

These commitments and promises should be realized.

One area that must be developed as a global maritime axis is to make Batam a transhipment area.

Because, if Batam only relies on the development of manufacturing industry, Batam will have difficulty facing the progress of similar areas, such as Johor Bahru with its Iskandar Industrial Park. (TribunBatam.id/Agus Tri Harsanto)
