he Jakarta administration has yet to decide on the city’s 2018 provincial minimum wage (UMP), with city officials still in intense discussions over the matter.

"I will report to the governor [Anies Baswedan] within the next 24 hours. The decision should, at least, be a win-win solution,” Sandiaga said at City Hall in Central Jakarta as quoted by kompas.com on Tuesday.
