City delays mall construction<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: The city administration delayed the renovation of
\nBlock A building in Tanah Abang textile market, Central Jakarta,
\nbecause Governor Sutiyoso could not officiate the start of
\nconstruction for the Rp 700 billion (US$82 million) worth
\nproject, which was scheduled for Monday evening.<\/p>\n
City spokesman Muhayat said the Governor, along with other
\ncity officials, was attending a meeting with leaders of new
\npolitical parties at Hotel Indonesia at the same time.<\/p>\n
Tanah Abang traders had protested the plan to relocate them to
\na less strategic place in the newly renovated building. They had
\nthreatened to obstruct the workmen should city-owned market
\noperator PD Pasar Jaya continues with the renovations.<\/p>\n
PD Pasar Jaya president director Prabowo Soenirman said the
\nproject would be delayed until next week, next month, or maybe
\nfor two years\", adding that the delay was not due to the protest.
