The following text is for questions 27 to 30.
Ragunan Zoo management in South Jakarta has complained about a plan to implement an e-ticketing system supported by the JakOne Card, an e-money mobile app from city-owned Bank DKI.
Ragunan head Dina Himawati has particularly objected to a point that requires the zoo to deposit Rp 20 billion (US$1.49 million) to Bank DKI for the implementation of the system.
“We have no idea how the plan works. The money is deposited to the bank, in our account. We feel like the Rp 20 billion is used for the operation of the card, including for top-up funds,” Dina said at the City Council building in Central Jakarta as quoted by kompas.com.
Dina said the money was needed by the zoo, particularly in an emergency when the city administration suffered a deficit. She added that a change in regulation may be needed.
“Cooperation is meant to benefit both sides. There are many things to be evaluated,” she said.
Two types of JakOne cards are offered to visitors. The first one displays Ragunan’s animals and is priced at Rp 30,000, containing Rp 20,000 credit balance. The second one displays animation, and is priced at Rp 60,000 with Rp 50,000 credit balance.
The City Council’s Commission C chairman, Santoso, said the agreement only benefited Bank DKI

The following text is for questions 31 to 34.
Recycling is important in today’s world if we want to leave this planet for our future generations. It is good for the environment, since we are making new products from the old products which are of no use to us. There are many reasons why it’s important to recycle as much as possible.
Making new products out of recycled materials reduces the need to consume precious resources. So recycling helps protect raw materials and protect natural habitats for the future.
Using recycling materials in the manufacturing process uses considerably less energy than that required for producing new products from raw materials.
Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy, it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change.
There are over 1,500 landfill sites in the UK and, in 2001, these sites produced a quarter of the UK’s emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is released as the biodegradable waste (such as food and paper) decomposes. Existing landfill sites are filling up fast and there is very limited space for new ones.
A massive reduction in the amount of waste we send to landfill is required if we are to avoid the heavy fines and the landfill taxes that are being imposed by Central Government on councils that exceed their landfill allowances. Increases in your Council Tax or service cuts in other areas would be the only way of paying these penalties.
