Frustrated minister exits car, takes command at toll gate

State-Owned Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan took command of the Semanggi toll gate on Tuesday morning, “furious” with one of his firms, toll-road operator Jasa Marga, for allowing backups.
“I was not only angry, I was extremely furious,” Dahlan said.
The minister was on his way to a meeting at Garuda Indonesia’s offices when he found 30 cars waiting to enter the Semanggi toll gate in Slipi, West Jakarta around 6 a.m.
Frustrated at the delay, Dahlan exited his vehicle to inspect the booths, discovering that one of the four booths at the gate was manned, one was automated - and two were vacant.
Apparently enraged, the minister did what many Jakartans can only dream about, entering the vacant booths and throwing operator chairs to the street.
As the line of vehicles at the gate continued to grow, Dahlan, taking command of the situation, told attendants to open the unused gates and let vehicles to go through without paying.
At least 100 cars enjoyed the free pass.
"I have told Jasa Marga dozens of times not to allow long lines of vehicles on the toll road,” Dahlan said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
"I will impose sanctions,” Dahlan said, adding that he hoped the toll road’s management would immediately improve service.
