Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Chairman of the DPR RI’s Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation Agency (BKSAP) Fadli Zon questioned the government’s policy to change the name of the Jakarta-Cikampek (Japek) II Layang Toll Road to the MBZ Sheikh Toll Road Mohamed Bin Zayed.
Fadli questioned the services of the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi for Indonesia. He feels that there are still many names that can be used to name roads in Indonesia.
“What do Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ) do for Indonesia?” Fadli said in response to the news via his Twitter account @fadlizon, Monday (12/4).
According to Fadli, the government should have used the name of a national hero to name toll roads. He considered this method as a form of respect for the services of the heroes.
The deputy chairman of the Gerindra Party Board of Trustees stated that he did not agree with the name change for the Japek II Layang Toll Road. He asked the government to review the policy.
“I propose to review the name of this road,” Fadli closed in his tease.
Previously, the government changed the name of the Jakarta-Cikampek II Layang Toll Road to the Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed MBZ Toll Road. The name change was inaugurated by State Secretary Pratikno and PUPR Minister Basuki Hadimuljono, Monday (12/4).
Pratikno said that the naming of the toll road was to appreciate MBZ’s support for Indonesia to date. MBZ is said to be one of the largest investors in Indonesia. One of the contributions was the formation of the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA).
“We also need to convey beforehand that the name of President Joko Widodo’s road has also been proclaimed in Abu Dhabi, a road on the main strategic road between the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center leading to the embassy complex,” said Pratikno in the inauguration of the name of the toll road.
