The subway will still be constructed i.e. they're not mutually exclusive projects. The subway will be funded by central government loans, possibly from JBIC (Japan), whereas monorail is privately funded.

that's a little toooo optimistic. I'm guessing mid-2007 for the Green Line, and 1-2 years later for the blue line.

@HADIWINATA: Thanks for the pictures !

[sanhen]

project like this always get unrealistic timeframe. expect it to finish much later than predicted. with not too much cost blow out.

[Yappofloyd]

@hadiwinta, yes thankyou very much for the pics. Great to see that construction has started again on the initial 5kms of line. It may not open till 2007 or later but at least each day of construction will inch slowly towards introducing some new mass transit to Jkt.

Rite in front of Mall Taman Anggrek, there's a huge huge park - so far i can see a nice garden with a jogging track, i think they refer to this location..

China Tawarkan Investasi 85 Persen untuk Monorel
Jaminan Harus dari Pemerintah Pusat

Oleh: OSA TRIYATNA

Jakarta, Kompas - Pembangunan kereta rel tunggal (monorel) tetap berlanjut. Investor China sudah menawarkan investasi 85 persen dari total investasi monorel yang mencapai sekitar 500 juta dollar AS. Hanya saja, investor China sangat mengharapkan jaminan investasi dari Pemerintah Indonesia.

Presiden Direktur PT Jakarta Monorel (JM) Ruslan Diwirjo mengatakan hal itu, Jumat (1/7) di Jakarta, ketika menjelaskan kelanjutan pembangunan monorel. Selain Jepang, Korea, dan Kanada, China merupakan salah satu investor yang akan menyediakan teknologi monorel di Jakarta.

Ruslan mengatakan, sekarang ini iklim berinvestasi sangat membutuhkan jaminan pemerintah. Apalagi, jumlah investasinya sangat besar. Jika dihitung- hitung, investasi yang akan ditanamkan investor China mencapai 425 juta dollar AS.

Seperti diberitakan, jaminan investasi di Indonesia menjadi persoalan mengemuka ketika Wakil Perdana Menteri China Wu Yi bertemu Menteri Koordinator Bidang Perekonomian Aburizal Bakrie di Zhong Nan Hai, Beijing. Wu Yi meminta Pemerintah Indonesia untuk menjamin terciptanya iklim yang kondusif supaya tercipta peluang bagi investor untuk meraih keuntungan, (Kompas, 29/6).

”Nilai investasi yang akan masuk dari China sangat besar. Dengan investasi sebesar 85 persen itu, Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta sebetulnya cuma menyiapkan 15 persennya saja,” kata Ruslan.

Sekarang ini, ujar Ruslan, jaminan investasi pemerintah menjadi persoalan besar. Kalau memang tidak bisa diperoleh jaminan, investor dikhawatirkan meninggalkan Indonesia dan beralih ke negara lain. Pembangunan infrastruktur pun dapat terbengkalai.

Meski demikian, Ruslan mengaku, sesuai nasihat Wakil Presiden Jusuf Kalla beberapa waktu lalu, PT JM sedang berupaya keras agar nilai investasi monorel ditekan seminim mungkin. Bahkan, PT JM akan berupaya menggandeng investor-investor dalam negeri.

Secara terpisah, Ketua Kamar Dagang dan Industri Indonesia Mohamad S Hidayat mengatakan, jaminan investasi tetap harus melalui persetujuan pemerintah pusat. Pemerintah daerah, termasuk Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta, memang tidak bisa begitu saja membuat surat jaminan investasi.

Untuk membangun iklim berinvestasi, seperti monorel, pemerintah daerah dapat saja terlebih dahulu memperhitungkan jumlah pengembalian utang kepada investor. ”Perhitungan itu harus dilakukan sedetail mungkin agar kelak pemerintah pusat tidak dibebani utang yang terlampau besar,” jelas Hidayat.
