The new Transportation Minister, Freddy Numberi, did not wait long before making some bold moves to get his portfolio into shape.
Just several days after his inauguration, Freddy harshly criticized the operator of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and removed the head of Kota Station in Jakarta after he inspected the two transportation hubs.
“It’s such a pity. We’re not a poor country and we have many smart people, so why is it that Soekarno-Hatta’s Terminal I is such a mess?” he told the press on Tuesday after conducting an impromptu inspection of the Tangerang airport.
“Next time the toilets must be better and cleaner because they will give foreigners a bad first impression of the country.
"If the toilets are dirty, outsiders will think this nation is unclean,” Freddy told Antara state news
He said the “messy” management of the airport, namely the unclean toilets and scattered cigarette butts, could reflect the “personality of the nation”.
