Donations to “Ojek”, Indonesian Bike Taxi drivers in trouble due to Covid19 Social Restriction.

Due to the Covid19 pandemic situation, Indonesian economy has been damaged quite hard. Many kinds of industries and businesses have been forced to shut down or reduce their personnel through layoffs etc.
This also includes those who are called “Ojek”, which are recognized as “Bike Taxi”. As a mean of countermeasure towards Covid19, Indonesian government has implemented “Large Scale Social Restriction” policy (quite similar to Singapore’s Circuit Breaker or Japan’s Emergency State), where it states that the bike is not allowed to carry people as passengers. This rule has caused a big drop in the Ojek business, resulting in a big movement to give a donation to the Ojek drivers. Sunstar Engineering Indonesia also gave a donation to the Ojek drivers in the areas around the company, as bags of rice, sugar and other daily necessities in May, 2020.
Besides, in 2019, Sunstar Engineering Indonesia also donated IDR 15 Million for helping the victims of the disaster of Tsunami triggered by a volcanic eruption of the “child” mountain of Krakatau Mountain, by giving rice, foods, bags and other daily necessities.
