TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Joint Committee on the Jakarta Bay Reclamation decided to ban construction activities occurring on Island G, which was developed by PT Muara Wisesa Samudra, a subsidiary of PT Agung Podomoro Land.
"We decided that construction on Island G must be stopped [permanently]," said Rizal Ramli, Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs on Thursday, June 30, 2016.
The decision was made following a coordination meeting between Marine and Fisheries Affairs Minister Susi Pudjiastuti, Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan, and Environment and Forestry Minister Siti Nurbaya led by Minister Rizal.
The committee decided to ban all construction activities on Island G because it is considered to be a major violation that threatens the environment, strategic projects, ports, and sea traffic.
