Counting the losses of heavy floods
State-owned bank PT BNI Tbk reported to JSX today the damages caused by heavy floods over the weekend as follows: 45 outlets and 117 ATMs in greater Jakarta were malfunctioned for various reasons including the collapsed of telecommunication/electricity service.
Meanwhile BCA reported 151 ATMs, two main branches, and 36 sub-branches were either damaged or closed down. The bank's call center HALO BCA is also out of operation.
Online communication between banks and Central Bank was also in trouble as PT Telkom Tbk's Automatic Telephone Center (STO) in Semanggi, Jakarta is heavily disrupted. This is the heart of the problem. Heavy flood, 1.2 meter high burried Telkom's vital equipments that called off almost 75,000 lines. So far Telkom has managed to repair 25,000 lines.
The question is why such an important infrastructure could easily hit by flood? Is there enough protection?

There will never be an adequate plan as long as Jakarta is not getting fixed. Telkom can move all the equipment to the highest peak in Java and yet when flooding starts, all the cables will be underwater yet again.
I think whoever the next governor will be (Please don't be greedy and have a little conscious) should fix the root of the problem.
oops..I wrote conscious... I meant conscience.
