Jakarta –

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) opened up about the fate of the Jakarta-Bandung Argo Parahyangan train service after the introduction of the high-speed train. Jokowi said Argo Parahyangan would remain present in society.

He said the presence of Argo Parahyangan would be an additional transportation option for the community. Just like toll roads and national roads, people are welcome to choose according to their individual wishes and needs.

“Yes, we’ll see. People are given many choices, people are given options. Choose this, choose this, choose this. Including the same road, if you want to take the national road please, if you want to take the toll road please, that’s it,” said Jokowi in Padalarang Station, Monday (2/10/2023).

On the other hand, Jokowi also wants integration of the high-speed train with other modes, so that people can move around easily.

“That’s what we continue to try to integrate fast trains with LRT, MRT, with Transjakarta, with Airport Trains, KRL, everything,” said Jokowi.

“Plus yesterday we saw at the exhibition maybe the application mode,” he continued.

The Ministry of Transportation itself previously confirmed that Argo Parahyangan would continue to operate its services. Director General of Railways at the Ministry of Transportation, Risal Wasal, said that Argo Parahyangan operations would continue to operate even though the Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Train also started operating.

“Argo Parahyangan will continue to operate,” said Risal briefly when contacted by detikcom, last Tuesday (27/6/2023).

The discourse on ‘lethal injection’ for Argo Parahyangan emerged at the end of 2022 in the midst of plans for high-speed train operations. However, this news was also denied by Risal Wasal. Last December, Risal confirmed that the Argo Parahyangan train would still operate.

“As for Argo Parahyangan, we don’t have any plans to stop it in the near future, sir. Argo Parahyangan is still running,” stressed Risal in a working meeting with Commission V of the DPR RI at the DPR RI Building, Central Jakarta, last Thursday (8/12/2022).

Risal explained that there are many differences between the Jakarta-Bandung Fast Train and the Argo Parahyangan Train, starting from the route to the target market. “Because this is a different route that the fast train travels to Argo Parahyangan, and the communities served are also somewhat different,” said Risal.

Indonesia’s Fast Train Named Whoosh: Minister Ranks It Higher Than Japanese and French Trains

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 21, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Jakarta –

Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi compared the name Whoosh to Fast Car Jakarta-Bandung with the names of Japanese and French fast trains.

According to Budi Karya, the name Whoosh for Indonesia’s fast train is better than Japan’s Shinkansen fast train and France’s Train à Grande Vitesse (TGV).

“If you want to be a little proud of the Shinkansen or TGV, this is better. That’s okay. We need to be proud of what we do,” said Budi at a press conference for Candidates for the Name and Logo of the Indonesian Fast Train, Thursday (21/9/2023).

Budi admitted that he was shocked when he found out that Whoosh was the name of the Fast Train.

“I myself was surprised to get the word whoosh, what a surprise application. I was half surprised, how come it’s so good,” he explained.

As for the origin of the name ‘Whoosh’, Budi said it came from conversations between officials and people’s expressions of joy after taking part in the trial.

According to him, when trying out this mode of transportation, the expression of joy after experiencing the fast train was the word ‘whoosh’.

Well, then this word was also discussed with BUMN Minister Erick Thohir, Minister of State Secretariat Pratikno, and President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

“The originator, so, in the last 3 weeks we had a dialogue between Mr. President, Mr. Pratik, Mr. Erick, me, Mr. Triawan and friends, Japri-Japrian, discussions like that. And at the same time we also tried it with Mr. Luhut “Mr. Edo, so it’s really said, ‘Who are we? Jaya. Well, if that’s an expression of joy there, it’s like saying ‘whoosh whoosh’,” he said.

Government Guarantees for Jakarta-Bandung Fast Car Project Debt

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 20, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Jakarta –

Project debt Fast Car Jakarta-Bandung will be guaranteed by the APBN. Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani has just signed Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 89 of 2023 concerning Procedures for Implementing Government Guarantees to Accelerate the Implementation of Fast Train Infrastructure and Facilities between Jakarta and Bandung. The rules will come into effect when they are promulgated, namely September 11 2023.

Sri Mulyani also opened up about the reason the government guaranteed the debt for the Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Train project. The guarantee itself is given as a step to handle the occurrence of cost overruns or swelling costs of the fast train project.

He said that Presidential Decree 93 of 2021 concerning the Acceleration of the Implementation of Fast Train Infrastructure and Facilities between Jakarta and Bandung also explained that debt guarantees for the fast train project were allowed.

“Like the fast train, it has been regulated by Presidential Decree 93. It says there is a guarantee, because there is a cost overrun. The cost overrun has also been audited by BPKP and BPK. There are recommendations for handling cost overrun,” said Sri Mulyani when met at the DPR Building. , Central Jakarta, Tuesday (19/9/2023).

Sri Mulyani also said that the Jakarta-Bandung Fast Train Committee consisting of herself, Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi, and Minister of BUMN Erick Thohir saw that so far KAI had more income than coal transportation in Sumatra.

This income is considered to be able to pay off the fast train debt. In this way, the government is confident that the guarantee provided for the fast train debt withdrawal will not burden the APBN.

“In terms of risk, we are in the (fast train) committee, consisting of Mr. Luhut, the Minister of Transportation, the Minister of BUMN, and the Minister of Finance, determining that PT KAI has additional income from coal traffic in Sumatra, with PTBA. From there we will get “revenue or income is a source for PT KAI to have the financial strength to pay back,” explained Sri Mulyani.

The Jakarta-Bandung Fast Train Committee also asked the Ministry of BUMN to create some kind of financial supervision scheme for PT KAI. This is also done to ensure the company can pay its debts, so that the guarantee provided does not need to be provided.

“Secondly, we also ask the Ministry of BUMN to create some kind of monitoring mechanism regarding the financial condition of PT KAI, including monitoring costs and revenue and creating a sinking fund that is able to ensure that the guarantee is not called, but is realized,” said Sri Mulyani.

Sri Mulyani also said that PT PII as the guarantor agency of the Ministry of Finance would strengthen its capital structure to guarantee fast train debt.

Fast Car Swell

Financing for the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train project has ballooned. The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train was initially estimated to only cost US$ 5.5 billion, then increased to US$ 5.8 billion and increased again to US$ 6.07 billion.

Finally, after long negotiations, in early 2023 this project is set to increase in cost by US$ 1.2 billion, meaning that the High Speed Train project currently has total financing of US$ 7.27 billion. One way to fulfill this swelling is by increasing debt to China.

The financing of the high-speed train project costs will be covered by depositing additional equity from the KCIC consortium. The remaining costs were met by credit obtained from the China Development Bank (CDB), therefore Indonesia had to increase its debt to China.

According to calculations by the Deputy Minister of BUMN Kartika Wirjoatmodjo, it is possible that the additional debt owed to the CDB will reach US$ 550 million or Rp. 8.5 trillion. This figure was obtained from the loan portion of 75% of the total swelling costs of US$ 1.2 billion.

Of that 75%, Indonesia’s portion is divided into 60% while China’s portion is 40%. From there, the loan figure of US$ 550 million revealed by Kartika was obtained.

“The loan portion is around US$ 550 million. We are currently applying for the loan to the CDB,” said the man who is familiarly called Tiko at the DPR RI Building, Central Jakarta, last Monday (13/2/2023).

Well, apart from increasing debt. Fulfillment of high-speed train costs is done by making an equity deposit to KCIC. The nominal is 25% of the total swelling costs of US$ 1.2 billion.

The government has injected state capital participation (PMN) of IDR 3.2 trillion into PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI to fulfill the equity portion of the Indonesian consortium in KCIC. KAI itself is the largest shareholder of the Indonesian consortium in KCIC, the railway company can be said to lead the Indonesian consortium in KCIC.
