        "content": "<p>Jakarta, VIVA - Ponco Sutowo, owner of PT Indobuildco, has questioned\nwhy the Sultan Hotel is facing issues despite its adherence to legal and\nadministrative regulations in its business operations. Ponco made the\nstatement during a political podcast with Akbar Faisal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am much more compliant in terms of legal and administrative\nmatters,\u201d Ponco said, quoted on Friday, May 15, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the hotel\u2019s operations have generated significant\nrevenue. He stated that the hotel\u2019s business activities not only impact\nthe company but also contribute to state revenue, employment, tenants,\nand other parties dependent on the hotel\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n<p>Ponco believes that resolving the dispute should be done through\ndialogue and negotiation. He affirmed that PT Indobuildco remains open\nto discussions to find a solution that is considered fair to all\nparties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s sit down. The problem can only be resolved through\nnegotiation. There is no other way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ponco added that entrepreneurs are not only focused on profit but\nalso have a responsibility towards national development. He believes\nthat legal certainty is an important factor for the sustainability of\ninvestment and business in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEntrepreneurs are not just looking for profit. We have a\nresponsibility towards the development of the country,\u201d Ponco said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Hamdan Zoelva, legal counsel for PT Indobuildco,\nemphasized that the object of the Sultan Hotel dispute is the land, not\nthe building or the hotel business.<\/p>\n<p>Hamdan stated that the Sultan Hotel building was built independently\nby PT Indobuildco and not using a Build, Operate, Transfer (BOT)\nscheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dispute is about the land, not the building. This building was\nbuilt independently by PT Indobuildco, not with state funds and not\nunder a BOT scheme,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Hamdan reminded that in the 2011 court ruling, the parties were\nencouraged to pursue a negotiation path to avoid harming investors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the 2011 court ruling, one of the considerations was to ask the\nparties to negotiate. Why? To prevent investors from suffering losses,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n<p>PT Indobuildco affirmed that it is not opposing and remains open to\ndialogue to find a resolution that is considered fair, complies with the\nlaw, protects investment, and does not harm workers, tenants, business\npartners, or state revenue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe land dispute should not be used as a means to take over the\nSultan Hotel building and business. If the hotel\u2019s operations are shut\ndown, the state, workers, tenants, and the business world will all\nsuffer,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
