1. Tangerang Sea Fence Polemic, UGM Expert: There Are Indications of Sea Conversion Efforts into Land
Geospatial Expert from Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) spoke about the polemic of the illegal sea fence in Tangerang. The sea fence became the public spotlight at the beginning of this year because the installation of 30.16 kilometers of bamboo made it difficult for fishermen to catch fish.
According to Geospatial Expert from the Department of Geodesy, Faculty of Engineering, UGM, I Made Andi Arsana, said that the coast in the north of Tangerang is an archipelagic water so that its sovereignty cannot be owned by individuals or companies. This is based on international regulations or UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea).
2. Google Reveals Cause of Rupiah Rate Strengthening to 8,170 per US Dollar
Google spoke up about the appearance of the site's page on Saturday afternoon, which showed information on the rupiah exchange rate to the United States (US) dollar at 8,170.65.
"We are aware of an issue affecting the Rupiah (IDR) exchange rate information on Google Search. Currency conversion data comes from a third-party source," said a Google representative in a statement, Saturday, February 1, 2024, as quoted by Antara.
After receiving a report of the inaccuracy, Google immediately asked the data provider to immediately correct the incorrect information. "When we learned of the inaccuracy, we contacted the data provider to correct the error as soon as possible," said a Google representative.
3. In the Next Week, Jasamarga Transjawa Will Reconstruct the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road Section
PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol (JTT) will reconstruct the road on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road to improve the comfort of road users and meet the Minimum Service Standards (SPM). Senior Manager Representative Office 1 of PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol, Amri Sanusi said that the reconstruction work will take place at KM 31+750 to KM 31+720 towards Jakarta, precisely in lanes 1 and 2.
