Strengthening Industry Resilience Through the Next Generation of AI Technology Leaders, Sinar Mas Land Through Digital Hub Successfully Holds DNA Masterclass 2025
Jakarta, August 24, 2025 — In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly shaping the global economic landscape, Digital Hub—as a community-powered growth platform and gateway to the multi-sector ecosystem of Sinar Mas Land and other Sinar Mas business pillars—has taken a strategic step to strengthen industry resilience through the organization of DNA Masterclass 2025. Carrying the theme “Build to Adapt: Human-Powered, AI-Enabled,” DNA Masterclass 2025 was successfully held on August 20–21, 2025, at the Grand Hyatt Ballroom, Jakarta. The event was attended by industry leaders, particularly in the AI sector, senior government officials, cross-sector professionals, students from leading universities, and members of the public seeking to deepen their understanding of AI utilization, both for household support and remote work opportunities. DNA Masterclass 2025 featured more than 50 expert speakers, 15 panel discussion sessions, and 6 masterclasses as the main highlights of the program. Designed to combine up-to-date insights, strategic inspiration, and practical experiences, the event delivered highly relevant discussions and learning opportunities. On the first day, the event opened with a keynote speech by Pratikno, Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia. The second day began with an inspiring session by Giring Ganesha, Vice Minister of Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, and concluded with a presentation by Prof. Stella Christie, Ph.D., Vice Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia. Pratikno, Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, stated, “In this era of digital transformation that is moving at exponential speed, humans without AI will find it extremely difficult to compete with humans empowered by AI. Therefore, leveraging AI to enhance the productivity of Indonesians and accelerate economic growth is not merely a strategic choice, but an existential necessity for the nation’s progress. We must ensure that the AI revolution is not only enjoyed by elites, but also becomes a key pillar of inclusive development that empowers all levels of society, including farmers, fishermen, MSMEs, and people with disabilities. Moreover, Indonesia has a golden opportunity to become a pioneer of AI that upholds humanity—not only excelling in algorithms, but also demonstrating wisdom in its implementation. Let us use the momentum of DNA Masterclass 2025 to close the gap between the lower and upper segments of society.” Giring Ganesha, Vice Minister of Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, said, “In today’s era, it is crucial to utilize AI wisely so that it remains aligned with human values. One day, AI may become smarter than us. Our responsibility is to ensure that AI continues to protect humanity and civilization, not the other way around. AI offers many benefits and opens up new opportunities, but this technology cannot fully replace human creativity. The authenticity and emotional nuances born from a person’s experiences and personal expression will always remain irreplaceable.” Prof. Stella Christie, Ph.D., Vice Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, emphasized, “AI technology brings both benefits and risks that must be managed with the right strategies to ensure positive outcomes for humanity. There are four major risks that need to be anticipated: unemployment, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, misinformation, and inequality, alongside four major benefits: job creation, enhanced security, fact-checking capabilities, and equal access. In fact, the threats of AI are emerging faster than its benefits, making intensive training and managed disruption essential for a smooth transition into the AI era. While AI expertise will be increasingly important, social skills will remain crucial by 2030, and data will become a valuable asset that must be safeguarded and managed within Indonesia.” Ferdinand Sadeli, Deputy Group CEO Investment International Tech & Emerging Sinar Mas Land, stated, “Sinar Mas Land is not merely a property company, but also plays a role in shaping Indonesia’s digital ecosystem. We began this commitment in 2015–2016 through the development of Digital Hub, by bringing in various technology players such as Traveloka, as well as world-class universities like Monash University, Indonesia. At the same time, if we observe today’s digital landscape, the term that appears most frequently is AI. In fact, for two consecutive years (2023–2024), AI became the most searched keyword on Google and one of the most widely discussed topics globally. Therefore, this year’s DNA Masterclass places AI at the center of discussion—not only because it is highly relevant to technological developments, but also because it is crucial in preparing society for major transformations across industries.” On the same occasion, Irawan Harahap, CEO Digital Tech Ecosystem and Development Sinar Mas Land, added, “Amid the rapidly evolving digital landscape, ecosystem readiness has become increasingly important. DNA Masterclass 2025 is an initiative by Digital Hub to provide a dynamic platform where businesses can foster cross-sector collaborations and connect with top talents and innovators. Through this initiative, we aim to ensure that Indonesia is not only prepared to face the AI era, but also capable of creating global solutions born from local ecosystems that can support Indonesia’s economic growth.” On the first day, panel discussions and masterclasses covered a range of engaging topics, including: Dr. Edwin Hidayat Abdullah, S.E., MPM. (Director General of Digital Ecosystem, Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia), Irvan Yasni (Chief Technology Officer of Sinar Mas Land), Prof. Yuhki Tajima (Associate Professor, Georgetown University), and Muhammad Arif Angga (Chairman of APJII) discussed “AI in Policy – Regulation, Opportunities & Challenges.” Prof. Dr. Ir.

Pagatan Usaha Makmur (PUM) Advances National Decarbonization Through Global-Scale Reforestation and High-Integrity Carbon Credits via the PLUM Project
Jakarta, 16 July 2025 – Amid the growing urgency of the climate crisis and increasing pressure on Indonesia’s natural resources, Pagatan Usaha Makmur (PUM) is taking a strategic role in accelerating the national decarbonization agenda. Through the PLUM Project in Central Kalimantan, PUM offers a large-scale nature-based solution that integrates the reforestation of degraded lands, community empowerment, and the issuance of internationally certified carbon credits—serving as a concrete contribution toward Indonesia’s Net Zero Emissions 2060 target. PUM has developed a nature-based approach that not only significantly reduces carbon emissions, but also restores biodiversity, increases ecosystem resilience, and opens new economic pathways for forest-adjacent communities. By applying the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity (CCB) standard, the 23,665-hectare peatland and mangrove area under management has remained free of forest fires since 2021, contributing to both emission reduction targets and ecosystem restoration. Dr. Rio Christiawan, Co-Founder & CEO of PUM, emphasized, “Decarbonization cannot remain a discourse—it must become part of the business model. We believe forests are strategic instruments for creating carbon-based economic value while ensuring ecological and social justice.” PUM’s commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles is reflected in every stage of its project development—from sustainable environmental management and meaningful community engagement to transparent and accountable corporate governance. By implementing technology-based monitoring and independent reporting mechanisms, PUM ensures that the environmental and social impacts of each intervention are measured objectively, reinforcing project integrity and long-term investor confidence. Aligned with the energy transition and low-carbon economy agenda, PUM ensures that its decarbonization process is not exclusive, but inclusive. Over 2,200 residents across seven villages have benefited directly through training in regenerative agriculture, biochar development, circular MSMEs such as coffee and local snacks, and improved access to clean water, healthcare, and education. “PUM also collaborates with local universities to enhance business literacy and product certification, such as halal and home industry standards. Our principle is clear: communities are not passive recipients—they are the main actors in nature-based economic development,” said Dr. Rio Christiawan, Co-Founder & CEO of PUM. PUM has also trained over 800 farmers, including women’s groups, to adopt regenerative land management practices. This aligns with the global decarbonization strategy that prioritizes community-based carbon resilience. “We believe local communities are not objects, but key agents of decarbonization. Restoration will not succeed without restoring trust and economic dignity. Our broader vision is to create a carbon ecosystem that is credible, inclusive, and results-driven—where carbon is not only reduced but governed, utilized, and distributed equitably,” Rio added. While carbon sales have yet to fully commence due to pending government regulation, PUM has completed key foundational steps such as FPIC (Free, Prior, and Informed Consent) and social impact assessments, and has begun exploring carbon trading via both B2B transactions and carbon exchanges. The development of biochar from rice husks, processed through pyrolysis into natural fertilizer, has emerged as a strategic extension of the reforestation project—reducing open burning while advancing an inclusive circular economy through community co-operatives. This project reflects a spirit of independence and grassroots idealism in advancing sustainable development. As a long-term initiative designed to run through 2060—in line with the Paris Agreement and Indonesia’s Net Zero targets—PUM underscores the need for cross-sector collaboration and forward-looking policies to ensure Indonesia’s carbon potential is monetized fairly and optimally. Indonesia holds over 12 million hectares of degraded land and a potential US$100 billion carbon credit market over the next two decades (KLHK). Yet the sector’s contribution to Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and the global carbon market remains limited, hindered by overlapping regulations, low carbon literacy, and limited green investment. Through a science-driven approach and multi-stakeholder partnerships, PUM rises to meet this challenge—positioning itself as a provider of premium carbon credits that bolster Indonesia’s global standing in the climate economy. As part of the Hutan Kencana Group, PUM is committed to becoming one of Southeast Asia’s leading ecosystem restoration developers, supporting regional decarbonization goals.
Formula E 2025 Sarinah Jakarta E-Prix Showcases the Future of Sustainable Motorsport and Drives Inclusive Climate & Community Action
Jakarta, 14 July 2025 — The Formula E 2025 Sarinah Jakarta E-Prix once again proves that world-class electric racing and sustainability leadership can go hand in hand. As part of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, this event not only delivers thrilling competition but also demonstrates how electric racing can drive real environmental and social change. Formula E continues to set the global standard for sustainable motorsport. Each year, the championship produces approximately 33,000 tons of carbon emissions, including spectator travel to and from race venues. All these emissions are fully offset through verified premium carbon credits. In comparison, other series such as Formula 1 produce around 350,000 tons of carbon emissions annually—excluding spectator travel—highlighting Formula E’s contribution to significantly reducing motorsport’s global carbon footprint while delivering thrilling world-class sport. The Formula E 2025 Sarinah Jakarta E-Prix also marks a milestone in applying sustainable solutions to event operations. Building on lessons from previous seasons, this year’s race is partly powered by Indonesia’s national grid Utilising grid energy not only lowers carbon intensity but also reduces the need for transporting heavy electrical equipment, resulting in greater operational efficiency and fewer indirect emissions. Beyond the race track, electric vehicles play a major role in supporting clean mobility during the event, including spectator shuttles and logistics vehicles, further reinforcing Indonesia’s readiness for widespread EV infrastructure. Julia Pallé, Vice President of Sustainability at Formula E, stated, “Formula E is more than just racing—it’s a platform for meaningful change. Through supporting local initiatives like CLIMATEABILITY through our Better Futures Fund, and the integration of sustainability principles on and off the track, we proudly demonstrate that high-performance sport can empower communities, protect the environment, and leave a lasting positive legacy.” Ivan C. Permana, Project Director of the Formula E 2025 Sarinah Jakarta E-Prix, added, “The wide-reaching impact of this event aligns with Jakarta’s vision as a global city prioritising innovation, inclusivity, and sustainability. With climate challenges such as rising sea levels and worsening floods, hosting Formula E in Jakarta strengthens urban resilience and accelerates Indonesia’s leadership in green innovation.” Raisha Syarfuan, President Director of PT Sarinah, stated, “We are proud to be part of the Formula E journey in Jakarta, not only as the title sponsor, but also as a partner in driving sustainable transformation. Our support for the 2025 Sarinah Jakarta E-Prix aligns with Sarinah’s commitment to being a cultural and retail hub that champions environmental responsibility, inclusivity, and community empowerment. Sarinah is where innovation, tradition, and a new lifestyle converge. We believe that this collaboration with Formula E strengthens our position as a tourism destination rooted in Indonesian culture and helps accelerate the adoption of sustainable living.” Beyond the circuit, Formula E and its partners have implemented tangible sustainability initiatives across Jakarta. Electric vehicle fleets, including spectator shuttles and logistics operations, have been deployed to support low-emission mobility throughout the event. In the Fan Village, spectators are encouraged to reduce single-use plastics by accessing free water refill stations and using biodegradable eco-cups made from corn starch. Formula E also collaborates with Waste4Change to implement a zero-waste-to-landfill waste management system, ensuring all waste is processed responsibly and turned into reusable materials. As part of its commitment, Formula E led another successful Ancol Beach Clean-up, engaging drivers, teams, local communities, and partners such as JakPro and Waste4Change. This year, 150 kg of ocean waste was collected, with some of the waste collected transformed into new materials, including furniture made from recycled plastics, demonstrating the event’s dedication to leaving a lasting legacy for Jakarta’s coastal environment and empowering communities to take positive action. In addition to its environmental focus, Formula E also drives social impact through multiple targeted programmes. Its Better Futures Fund Provided a €25,000 donation to Yayasan Perempuan dan Anak Amirah, a Jakarta-based civil society organisation. The funding will specifically support Amirah’s “CLIMATEABILITY: From the Margins to the Frontlines” project, an inclusive climate leadership programme empowering women, youth, and persons with disabilities. The initiative includes leadership workshops, accessible educational materials such as Jakarta’s Climate Sign Language Glossary, grassroots eco-projects, and digital storytelling to amplify the voices of marginalised communities. During the Jakarta E-Prix race week, representatives from Formula E visited the kick off event for the project, engaging directly with the organisation and community who will benefit from the funding, alongside Amirah’s involvement in the beach clean and presenting the Julius Baer Pole Position trophy to driver Jake Dennis. As the world’s only all-electric racing series, Formula E, through the Formula E 2025 Sarinah Jakarta E-Prix, once again proves that sport, environmental progress, and community empowerment can unite to create a better future—starting with one city, one race, and one real, impactful initiative.
TransTRACK Launches TransTRACK Academy to Strengthen Digital Talent in the Transportation, Logistics, and Supply Chain Sectors, Driving the Competitiveness of Indonesia’s Logistics Industry
Jakarta, July 3, 2025 – Responding to the real challenges in the transportation, logistics, and supply chain industries—specifically the gap between technological demands and the availability of competent human resources—TransTRACK officially launched TransTRACK Academy, a training and certification platform tailored to meet industry needs. This initiative aims to bridge the skills gap amid the rapid adoption of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Data Analytics in fleet operations and logistics management. The TransTRACK Academy curriculum covers three main areas: Fleet Engineering, Digital Supply Chain, and Computer Engineering. It offers tiered training programs ranging from beginner to advanced levels, complete with relevant and practical industry certifications. In this initial phase, TransTRACK Academy will focus on two curricula first—Fleet Engineering and Digital Supply Chain Management. Indonesia’s transportation and logistics sector continues to face operational inefficiencies, from unplanned vehicle downtime to weak supply chain coordination. These challenges stem not only from a labor shortage but from the lack of industry-ready, skilled talent. The country’s Logistics Performance Index (LPI) has dropped significantly from 45th in 2018 to 63rd in 2023, primarily due to weak tracking and tracing systems and limited workforce capacity (World Bank, 2023). Meanwhile, the adoption of digital technologies in logistics and fleet management continues to grow, but many technicians and operators still lack the skills to optimize these technologies effectively. This gap has contributed to Indonesia’s high logistics costs, which currently stand at around 23% of GDP—well above global standards (Tenggara Strategics, 2024)—highlighting the need for technological advancement to be matched by workforce readiness. Anggia Meisesari, Founder and CEO of TransTRACK, stated, “We believe technology alone is not enough. We need highly skilled talent, particularly in the transportation, logistics, and supply chain sectors, to ensure that technology adoption is effective, safe, and impactful. TransTRACK Academy reflects our commitment to supporting the national agenda for job creation and strengthening Indonesia’s competitiveness in the global logistics industry.” Meanwhile, Aris Pujud Kurniawan, Co-Founder and CTO of TransTRACK, emphasized that human capital readiness is a key factor for successful digital transformation. “TransTRACK Academy is an integral part of our long-term technology strategy. The training content is developed based on real operational needs in the field and delivered by practitioners and certified trainers. The main focus is enhancing technical skills in areas such as IoT, AI, and fleet operations.” Budi Santosa, Head of TransTRACK Academy, added, “TransTRACK Academy is designed to address real industry demands through practical, hands-on training that can be applied immediately in the field. Our curriculum is based on everyday operational challenges, taught by experienced practitioners, and open to vocational school graduates, university students, and industry professionals. Beyond upskilling, the Academy also serves as an official recruitment channel for TransTRACK, with a target of onboarding 30 new technicians by the end of 2025. This is not just about training; it’s an investment in building the future talent for the logistics industry.” Registration for TransTRACK Academy opens from July 7 to 31, 2025, with a special early bird promotion of Rp250,000 off for participants who register between July 7 and 16, 2025. The programs will commence shortly and are open to vocational school graduates, university students, and professionals seeking to enhance their technical competencies in the digital era. TransTRACK Academy also welcomes collaboration with vocational schools, universities, and industry communities to strengthen the talent pipeline for Indonesia’s logistics and transportation sectors. The Academy’s activities include book reviews, research and consulting, intensive training sessions, and seminars with leading trainers and experts. This initiative further solidifies TransTRACK’s position as a technology enabler—not only providing digital solutions to optimize fleet operations and supply chains but also acting as a catalyst for human capital development and data-driven industry transformation in Indonesia.

TICKTUM TAKES ADVANTAGE TO SEAL MAIDEN FORMULA E WIN AT 2025 SARINAH JAKARTA E-PRIX
JAKARTA, Indonesia. 22 June. 2025 – CUPRA KIRO’s Dan Ticktum picked his way through the pack to his maiden win at the 2025 Sarinah Jakarta E-Prix Round 12, as trouble struck early leaders Jake Dennis (Andretti Formula E Team) and Nyck de Vries (Mahindra Racing). Ticktum, who had started fifth, navigated his way through a late Safety Car and two Full Course Yellows, having smartly made it beyond polesitter, and net leader at the time, Jake Dennis through the second round of ATTACK MODE activations – on Lap 29. From there, the CUPRA KIRO driver had Edo Mortara’s Mahindra to fend off over the final four racing laps to a sprint finish and duly, Ticktum held fast for his first win in 60 Formula E starts, and the team’s first win since Moscow in Season 1, via Nelson Piquet Jr. That also made it six different winners in the last six races. Earlier on, the battle had looked to be between Dennis – who led much of the race – and Mahindra’s de Vries. Dennis defended hard on Lap 22 through the first round of ATTACK MODE activations with elbows out on de Vries out of the final turn. A lap later, with an overlap in ATTACK, de Vries had another go for P1 and made it just past Dennis, but was adjudged by the stewards to have been overzealous in his defence in the Turn 1 braking zone and was handed a 10-second penalty. Both were removed from contention after the final Full Course Yellow, with de Vries’ car crawling to a halt with a technical issue and Dennis sliding down the pack and forced into the pits – leaving Ticktum and Mortara to battle for first. Nico Mueller (Andretti Formula E) finished third – a 10-place gain on his starting slot. António Félix da Costa (Porsche), Nick Cassidy (Jaguar TCS Racing) and Taylor Barnard (NEOM McLaren) rounded out the top six – with the Brit recovering from a poor first ATTACK MODE. Standings leader Oliver Rowland (Nissan Formula E Team) made up ground early on, but a penalty for contact with Maximilian Guenther (DS PENSKE) left him and the team pointless in Jakarta. With Porsche’s Wehrlein also failing to score, there was no harm done for the Brit in the FIA World Drivers’ Championship standings, as he could still wrap up the championship title in Berlin with Rounds 13 & 14 on 12 & 13 July. TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team leads Nissan Formula E 203 to 191 points in the FIA Teams’ World Championship table with Nissan leading Porsche 303 to 299 in the FIA Manufacturers’ World Championship running. Dan Ticktum, No. 33, CUPRA KIRO said: “I think that is the most joyous part of all this – obviously I’m thrilled that I’ve won a race. I’ve been in Formula E nearly four years now, but the whole time I’ve known this is what I can do. Now I’ve got a good car and I’m doing it. I’m very very happy, I think a lot of people forgot I used to be quite handy on the F1 ladder back in the day, and now I’m just going to start proving it again. The guys are pretty remarkable that in six, seven months the rate of improvement we’ve had over this season. We started in quite a not great place and I was a little bit underwhelmed at the beginning of the season and we chipped away. Since Miami it’s been quite a steep upwards trajectory so I’m very very proud of them. I’ve been with them since day one here and to deliver that is very special for them and a good feeling for me.” Edoardo Mortara, No. 48, Mahindra Racing said: “I’m feeling kind of disappointed for the team because I think that more was possible for us, but actually happy for me. It’s been a long time coming, this podium, and if I look back there were several occasions where, with a bit more luck, we could have changed it. But nevertheless, super happy with today’s race, I think we managed the strategy pretty good, especially with the first ATTACK MODE, we got a little bit unlucky with the Safety Car and Full Course Yellow because I think I could have made good use of my ATTACK MODE and passed Dan [Ticktum]. I was in front of him before the second ATTACK MODE. Nevertheless, super happy with second place and already looking forward to the next one.” Nico Mueller, No. 51, Andretti Formula E said: “Very good! We always had the race pace all season long. Qualifying has always been our achilles heel if you want to call it that. Today I feel like I had a car to go into the [qualifying] duels, a slight mistake in these very dusty conditions, I paid a big price for that. But then in the race, managed to move up already in the beginning and made our way into the top eight. Then we were a bit lucky with the strategy but also I think very good with the execution, so whenever we had the opportunity to move forward we took it, and had good pace at the end. Very happy with how that one went, obviously super pleased for the whole team and my crew to get a podium, they really deserve it and I hope we can keep that momentum going into the last four races.” 2025 SARINAH JAKARTA E-PRIX ATTENDED BY GLOBAL AND LOCAL STARS Official CUPRA KIRO Formula E Development Driver and current GB3 driver, Bianca Bustamante was in attendance throughout race week. A former W Series and F1 Academy driver, Bianca also took part in the inaugural FIA Formula E All-Women’s Test in Madrid last November. During the week, she shadowed CUPRA KIRO drivers Dan Ticktum and David Beckmann as part of her preparation for her debut with the team at the upcoming Formula E rookie test at Berlin’s Tempelhof

In this momentum, Sarinah also plays a role not only as a title partner but as a cultural ambassador preserving Indonesia’s heritage. As a subsidiary of the state-owned tourism and aviation holding company PT Aviasi Pariwisata Indonesia (Persero) or InJourney, PT Sarinah (Persero) is Indonesia’s first modern retail brand and a historic icon of the capital city. Now, amid an era of transformation and globalization, Sarinah is taking a bold and visionary step by playing an active role in the Jakarta E-Prix 2025—a strategic collaboration that brings together two major missions: preserving cultural heritage and embracing a sustainable future. As a cultural centre, Sarinah believes that the spirit of sport is also part of cultural identity. Therefore, its involvement in this event is a valuable opportunity to support sports tourism, including through various community-based and sustainability-driven initiatives. This is in line with the vision of Formula E as the world’s leading electric racing series, which upholds values of sustainability, technology, and the future of mobility. Sarinah and Formula E share a strong commitment to environmentally friendly innovation, clean energy, and inclusive experiences. This partnership also serves as a tangible contribution to the celebration of Jakarta’s 498th Anniversary, while supporting the city’s ambition to become a Top 20 Global City—a modern, green, and sustainable metropolis. Raisha Syarfuan, President Director of PT Sarinah (Persero), stated, “Sarinah is more than just a department store—it is a national legacy. More than a retail space, it serves as a living platform for cultural expression and economic empowerment. We see the Jakarta E-Prix as an extraordinary opportunity to expand that mission. As a cultural centre, we believe the spirit of sports is also part of the culture itself. This collaboration allows us to support sport tourism through various community-based and sustainability-driven initiatives. It aligns with the values we share with Formula E—clean energy, inclusive experiences, and a sustainable future.” Iwan Takwin, President Director of PT Jakarta Propertindo (Perseroda) or Jakpro, added, “We welcome this historic collaboration as a significant step toward the success of the Jakarta E-Prix 2025. With Sarinah on board, the championship becomes more than just a prestigious race—it becomes a celebration that involves the broader public. I hope this partnership becomes a powerful moment to bring Indonesia’s technology, sustainability, and culture closer to the world.” Gemma Roura, Strategic Event Planning Director of Formula E Operations (FEO) for Jakarta E-Prix, stated, “Formula E is not just about racing—it also carries a powerful set of values and vision, especially in spotlighting the identity and heritage of iconic cities across the world. With Sarinah joining the journey, we are confident we can communicate the ‘From Heritage to Future’ message more widely and creatively to the international market. The Jakarta E-Prix 2025 will not only be a sporting event—it will be a celebration of technology, culture, and the future Indonesia is shaping.” Dewa 19 featuring All Stars, with a special formation of five vocalists—including Ahmad Dhani, Ari Lasso, Ello, and two international singers—will perform on the main stage of the Jakarta E-Prix 2025 on 21 June.
