The government is planning to reclassify the proposed Sunda Strait Bridge (SSB) as a solicited project to end confusion surrounding its legal basis, a senior minister says.

Your comments:

If a businessman wants to spend his own money building this and then charge a toll to use it, then I say fine.

But using public funds of Rp 100 trillion on this vanity project when there are much more important infrastructure projects to complete is ridiculous.
