        "summary": "PT Indobuildco's legal representative has asserted that the Sultan Hotel building in Central Jakarta cannot be seized by the government, as the dispute pertains solely to the land and the structure does not follow a Build, Operate, Transfer (BOT) scheme. Any takeover would require proper legal mechanisms and compensation, considering the hotel's ongoing business operations, employees, and tenants. The government's court ruling supports execution of the land eviction, but Indobuildco warns that improper seizure could undermine legal certainty, human rights, and investor confidence in Indonesia.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The legal representative of PT Indobuildco,\nHamdan Zoelva, stated that the Sultan Hotel building in Central Jakarta\ncannot be executed at will by the government. The object of the dispute\nbetween the government and PT Indobuildco is the land area of the Sultan\nHotel. \u201cThe Sultan Hotel building is not part of a Build, Operate,\nTransfer (BOT) scheme, so it cannot simply be executed or taken over,\u201d\nHamdan said when confirmed by Kompas.com via text message on Friday\n(8\/5\/2026). According to Hamdan, if the building is to be taken or\nexecuted, there must be a legal mechanism and payment of compensation.\nFurthermore, Hamdan reminded that the Sultan Hotel area does not only\nconcern land issues but also business activities, employees, tenants,\nbusiness partners, and the continuity of a business that has been\nrunning for decades. In addition, if a takeover occurs without a basis\nand valid mechanism, it has the potential to harm legal certainty, human\nrights, and business confidence in the investment climate in Indonesia.\n\u201cPT Indobuildco is not opposing the state. The stance taken is to ensure\nthat every legal process runs fairly, carefully, and does not ignore\nlegitimate rights,\u201d he added. The determination grants the request for\nexecution of the evacuation of Block 15 submitted by the Minister for\nState Secretary and the GBK Land Management Agency through their legal\nrepresentatives. \u201cThe Central Jakarta District Court considers that the\nrequest for execution of the evacuation has complied with the law and\ntherefore issues a determination for the execution of the evacuation,\u201d\nsaid the legal representative of the Minister for State Secretary and\nthe GBK Land Management Agency, Kharis Sucipto, in a press statement\nfrom the GBK Land Management Agency confirmed by Kompas.com on Monday\n(4\/5\/2026). In addition, according to him, the government\u2019s legal\nposition is currently very strong and is not affected by other\nadministrative legal efforts. Meanwhile, the government ensures that the\nexecution of the evacuation of the Sultan Hotel area block will be\ncarried out in the near future.<\/p>",
