Hutama Karya Temporarily Closes Blangbintang – Baitussalam Toll Road Section
PT Hutama Karya as the manager of the Sigli – Banda Aceh (Sibanceh) toll road will temporarily close the Blangbintang – Baitussalam toll road section from Friday – Monday, September 6 – 9, 2024.
Executive Vice President (EVP) Corporate Secretary Adjib Al Hakim, Thursday, September 5, 2024 explained, this temporary closure was carried out in order to improve the quality of service to toll road users, improve the transaction system and routine maintenance or maintenance on toll equipment machines.
Adjib appealed to toll road users who will pass from Blang Bintang to Baitussalam and vice versa, can use other routes and avoid access to the Baitussalam Toll Gate (GT) and GT Blang Bintang.
“Hutama Karya apologizes for the inconvenience caused, and as an alternative route, people who will pass to Baitussalam and Blang Bintang, can use the national road (non-toll) with access to Jalan Blang Bintang Lama – Jalan Teuku Nyak Arief – Jalan Laksamana Malahayati, during the closure period. This temporary closure is part of Hutama Karya’s commitment to continue to provide the best service for toll road users and we also thank you for your understanding and cooperation, ” said Adjib.
Hutama karya appeals to all road users to always comply with the rules and regulations that apply on toll roads, and ensure the adequacy of the EU balance before entering the toll gate. If road users have not filled the balance of the Electronic Money (UE) card, they can use the HK Toll Apps application owned by Hutama Karya, where there is an UE Balance Check feature and can also top up the UE balance.
In addition, toll road users can drive at the minimum and maximum speeds as required and not use the shoulder except in emergencies. Immediately rest at the nearest place if you feel sleepy.
“If toll road users experience complaints or see crimes on the toll road, please immediately report to the Sigli – Banda Aceh Toll Call Center at 0821- 6434 -6434,” he appealed.
Aceh’s Basketball Spirit on the Edge
Aceh basketball was battered at PON XXI Aceh – North Sumatra. The West Java team managed to humiliate Aceh with a landslide score 100 against 36 in the men’s 5X5 category. Aceh’s suffering increased when the women’s basketball team was slaughtered 34 compared to 118, also by West Java.
The Aceh men’s basketball team is in group B with West Java, North Sulawesi, Bangka Belitung Islands, and North Sumatra. While the Aceh women’s team is in group X with Bali, North Sumatra, West Java and Central Java.
Aceh then continued to fall after the men’s team was slaughtered by Bangka Belitung Islands with a very striking 95 compared to 25. The same thing was experienced by the Aceh women’s team which was slaughtered by Bali with a very heavy 15 compared to 106. The question is, after being battered so, can Aceh rise in the rest of the next match?
The spotlight is now certainly on the Provincial Management (Pengprov) of the Indonesian Basketball Association (Perbasi) Aceh. A few days before the match rolled around, the Chairman of Pengprov Perbasi Aceh, Purnama Setia Budi had boasted in the media that the Aceh 5X5 basketball team would present the best performance for Aceh. In fact, heemmm, sluggish.
The spirit of Aceh basketball is really on the edge. This bad result seemed to drown the history of Aceh’s superiority in James Anaismith’s sport. Aceh basketball lovers know very well how PIM NAD managed to bring the name Aceh to dominate basketball competitions in Indonesia. PIM NAD was able to show its sharpness both in the Main Basketball Competition (Kobatama) and in the Indonesian Basketball League.
Memories of how PIM NAD lifted the Kobatama championship trophy in 2005 and 2006 have not disappeared. The Aceh pride basketball team was able to compete with great teams in the national arena such as, Aspac, Hadtex, Buls Jakarta, Multi Abadi, Scorpio Jakarta, Biangbola Jakarta, and other elite teams. PIM NAD was still the runner-up in 2007.
After Kobatama changed its name to the Premier Basketball League (PBL), PIM NAD again made Aceh proud by winning the championship in 2012. Basketball sports have really been able to make Aceh proud at that time.
Continuing in January 2016 PIM NAD, which was strengthened by basketball players who were prepared for PON XIX in West Java, won the Hoops Basketball Championship in Bandung. Then continued with achievements in various tournaments and other basketball competitions.
If in the past PIM NAD could win trophies at the national level, making the Acehnese public proud in the basketball world, now the Aceh basketball team is humiliated in its own country. Aceh basketball is really on the edge.
