The planned execution of the Hotel Sultan area by the Central Jakarta\nDistrict Court this week has sparked resistance from workers and\ncommunity groups who claim they are directly affected by the policy.\nAhead of the eviction scheduled for Thursday, 18 June 2026, Hotel Sultan\nemployees, together with labour elements and the Civil Coalition of\nIndigenous Entrepreneurs Defenders, have voiced open rejection. They\neven stated they are prepared to stage actions to block the execution\nprocess if it proceeds.<\/p>\n
According to them, the disputed matter essentially concerns land\nstatus. However, the impact is considered potentially far-reaching,\ndisrupting business activities, jobs, and the livelihoods of many\nparties who depend on Hotel Sultan\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are ready to block the execution plan for Hotel Sultan through\npeaceful and constitutional action. The execution must not be forced by\nignoring justice, legal certainty, and the rights of all interested\nparties,\u201d said orator Al Hams Qamarallah to reporters on Monday, 15 June\n2026.<\/p>\n
The rejection arose because they assess that while the object of the\ndispute is the land in the former Hotel Sultan area, the execution is\nfeared to affect the building, business activities, and thousands of\nparties with economic ties to the hotel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe object of the dispute is the land. But what is threatened with\nclosure and takeover is not just the land, but also the building, the\nhotel business, jobs, tenants, vendors, and the economic lives of many\npeople,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
The coalition believes that to date, there has been no ruling\nexplicitly stating that the building or business of Hotel Sultan does\nnot belong to PT Indobuildco. Therefore, they argue that a land dispute\nshould not serve as the basis for halting business activities without a\nclear resolution of rights and compensation.<\/p>\n
In addition to requesting the cancellation of the execution, the\ngroup is also pushing for a resolution through dialogue between PT\nIndobuildco and the government, particularly the Ministry of State\nSecretariat. They hope this step can be taken while waiting for all\nlegal processes to be fully completed.<\/p>\n
In its statement, the coalition also conveyed several other demands,\nincluding protection for workers and affected third parties, respect for\nthe rights of HGB title holders, and consideration of the social and\neconomic impacts should the eviction proceed.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/employees-urge-consideration-of-social-and-economic-impact-of-hotel-sultan-execution-1781542254", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
