00:00In order to avoid conflict of interest,

00:03applicants are also allowed to establish a new company

00:06or use a company that is not related to the vehicle industry

00:09for the purpose of applying for PPKM license.

00:12This is intended to create a division of the industry

00:15and avoid a situation where the company that owns the vehicle industry

00:19to pass the vehicle through the PPKM itself.

00:23The letter of application to the three companies that were elected on February 7th

00:28requires the company to ensure the infrastructure,

00:32equipment, labor and other needs within 24 months

00:36before the license is issued.

00:38If the company fails to meet the requirements in the set time,

00:42the license will not be given.

00:44In this development period,

00:46MOT through JPJ will carry out continuous monitoring

00:50to ensure that the company appointed

00:52meets all the requirements and PPKM operating standards that have been established.

00:56The operating license will only be given

00:58after the company meets all the requirements of the regulations

01:01and equipment and is ready to start the operation.

01:05If all the technical criteria are met,

01:07then the operating license will be given.

01:09If the company fails to meet all the requirements within 24 months,

01:13the operating license will not be given.

01:15There is no question of EOT.

01:17I am also very concerned about the safety of the road.

01:22I do not want a company that is not authorized to be given a license.

01:25Of course, all companies that are given a license

01:28must meet all the criteria.

01:30Secondly,

01:31there is one aspect that many people do not talk about.

01:34They only talk about 8 months.

01:36It is true that this 8 months,

01:38the company has established an SPV

01:41to enter the application for this vehicle inspection.

01:45But the important thing is,

01:47this 8 months,

01:49the company has already paid Rp 20 million

01:51and it has another business.

01:53It is not a new company.

01:54It is not a 2 ringgit company.

01:55A company that has Rp 20 million

01:57has enough capital.

01:59And for your information,

02:00this company owns a lot of land.

02:03All three directions are land.

02:05So we have to have confidence in these companies.

02:08And the important thing is,

02:10the vehicle inspection must be successful.

02:12Once they have met all the criteria,

02:16equipment and facilities,

02:18there must be a vehicle inspection.

02:20Every company must have a licensed vehicle inspection.

02:24How is it licensed?

02:25They take the employees,

02:27they must go through a special course first.

02:29A course established by the JPJ.

02:31An assessment by the JPJ

02:32on the human resources.

02:34Only then can it be licensed.

02:35Only then can the vehicle inspection function be carried out.

02:38So the process is quite long

02:40and also very detailed.

02:42And all this process,

02:44I do it openly.

02:46There are no secrets.

02:48If I want to be secretive,

02:50I don't need to be public

02:52about the company's name.

02:54So there is nothing to be secretive about.

02:57The important thing is,

02:58we want to open this market

03:00so that the vehicle inspection market

03:02is more competent,

03:04more competitive,

03:05and more choices for users.

03:07If there is an issue of integrity in Puspa.com,

03:09it will not be compromised.

03:11And we are doing various operations now.

03:14There is also a compromise operation from the JPJ officers

03:16to enter Puspa.com

03:18and see what they are doing.

03:19Whether it is correct or not.

03:20If there is an issue of integrity,

03:22it will not be compromised.

03:24That is the first thing.

03:25The second thing,

03:26I hope,

03:27and I also have to give advice to the bus operators,

03:32if they know that the vehicle inspection

03:34has its own requirements,

03:36they have to make sure

03:38that they meet the requirements.

03:40For example,

03:41they have a tire.

03:42Some people change a tire

03:43that is not suitable for a person.

03:45They change one tire

03:46at the tire shop

03:47to pass the inspection first.

03:49Then they go out

03:50and change the tire that is not good.

03:52Those are the things that we must stop.

03:54That is what I call

03:56an integrity-less inspection.

03:58But Puspa.com said

03:59when they inspected,

04:00it was okay.

04:01The tire was okay.

04:02They entered the inspection center,

04:04the tire was good.

04:06When they went out,

04:07they changed the tire that was not good.

04:08So we have to take action

04:10against the tire shop.

04:12The tire shop is not under the JPJ.

04:13The tire shop is under the KBDN.

04:15Only then can they enter.

04:16So these are the efforts

04:17that involve many agencies

04:20that sometimes

04:21complicate our work.

04:23But we know

04:25in our society,

04:27they are sometimes so creative

04:29to find a way

04:31to avoid the regulations.

04:33But whatever it is,

04:34the message we want to convey is

04:35this vehicle inspection

04:37is for safety.

04:38It is true,

04:39as was said,

04:40we want to open this market

04:41so that the monopoly is broken.

04:43More industry players.

04:45So that we can both

04:46increase the quality

04:47of vehicle inspection

04:48to ensure safety

04:50on the road.
