JAKARTA (JP): Residents of Rawamangun district, East Jakarta,
\nare demanding that the East Jakarta mayoralty provide them with
\ntheir compensation before they demolish their houses in the very
\nnear future.<\/p>\n
The residents claimed yesterday that they have been living in
\nthe location for many years and some have lived there even
\n\"longer than the small river that runs through the housing
\ncomplex\".<\/p>\n
\"Therefore it is only fair for the mayoralty to provide
\ncompensation so that we can demolish our own buildings and move
\nvoluntarily,\" Sunardi, one of the residents, said as quoted by
\nSuara Pembaruan daily.<\/p>\n
The residents also demand that the mayoralty give them a new
\nplace to live.<\/p>\n
On June 16 the mayoralty ordered the residents who live in the
\nriver banks to demolish their houses and move in two weeks. The
\nmayoralty threatens to demolish the houses if they refuse to do
\nso.<\/p>\n
Last week the residents filed a complaint to the City
\nCouncil's Commission A which oversees government affairs. The
\ncommission promised to contact the mayoralty to settle the
\nproblem.(yns)<\/p>",
