        "summary": "Hercules, leader of the Indonesian United Victory People's Movement (GRIB Jaya), has challenged Housing Minister Maruarar Sirait to substantiate claims that his organisation is illegally occupying land in Tanah Abang, asserting that the land rightfully belongs to the heirs based on a 1923 ownership certificate. The dispute involves a legal challenge against PT KAI's 2008 land management rights, which the heirs argue are invalid as they ignore the prior longstanding claim without due process. Hercules urged against pressuring small communities and emphasised that such actions contradict President Prabowo Subianto's vision of protecting the underprivileged, while the case proceeds through the courts.",
        "content": "<p>Chairman of the Indonesian United Victory People\u2019s Movement (GRIB\nJaya), Rosario de Marshal alias Hercules, has challenged Housing\nMinister Maruarar Sirait, who claimed that lands in Tanah Abang are\nbeing illegally occupied by his organisation. Hercules described the\nminister\u2019s question, referred to as Minister Ara\u2019s familiar nickname, as\nhighly tendentious and cornering his side, which is attempting to secure\nassets claimed to still belong to the rightful heirs. Hercules requested\nthat small communities not be pressured or squeezed regarding the Tanah\nAbang land dispute polemic. He emphasised that repressive actions are\ncontrary to the vision of President Prabowo Subianto, who greatly cares\nfor the small people. \u201cSo that the people are not squeezed. Because Mr\nPresident, we know he is not like that,\u201d said Hercules in the official\nGRIB Jaya YouTube Live broadcast on Tuesday (14\/4\/2026). Deputy Head of\nthe Legal and Advocacy Division of GRIB Jaya and the Heirs, Wilson\nCollin, stated that this case has also been brought to the legal route\nthrough a lawsuit for Unlawful Acts (PMH) at the Central Jakarta\nDistrict Court. The heirs claim to have a strong legal basis in the form\nof Eigendom Verponding number 946 from 1923 in the name of Ilias Rajo\nMentari. They consider the issuance of Land Management Rights (HPL) by\nPT KAI in 2008 to be juridically flawed because it ignores the old\nrights that have existed since 1923 without a valid legal process.\nRegarding the Housing Minister\u2019s statement, Maruarar Sirait, who wants\nto utilise the land for people\u2019s housing, the legal team reminded that\ndevelopment must not ignore aspects of justice and legal certainty. \u201cIt\ncannot be justified if rights born in 2008 override rights that have\nexisted since 1923 without a valid legal process,\u201d explained Wilson.<\/p>",
