Fight against illegal villas slow<\/p>\n
BOGOR (JP): Bogor Regency spokesman Jenner Simanjuntak
\nexpressed concern yesterday over the slow progress in the
\nregency's fight against illegal villas in the Puncak hill resort.<\/p>\n
He said that the program to make Puncak a green area was not
\nrunning as well as expected mainly because of the arrogance of
\nthe villas' owners.<\/p>\n
\"Their arrogance shows that they have money and power. They
\nfeel as if they are untouchable by the law,\" he said, adding that
\ndemolition in one area was usually followed by the construction
\nof new illegal buildings elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Jenner explained that under the regency's program, 120 villas
\nhad been torn down over the last three years, but data showed
\nthere were still 200 other luxury buildings standing without
\ntheir owners having the necessary permits.<\/p>\n
\"Those luxury properties are mostly owned by high-ranking
\nofficials or wealthy businessmen,\" he said. (24)<\/p>",
