        "summary": "The Gerakan Rakyat Indonesia Bersatu (GRIB) Jaya has become involved in a land dispute in the Tanah Abang area of Central Jakarta by acting as legal representatives for heirs claiming ownership of the site based on a 1923 Eigendom Verponding document. The claimants, led by Sulaeman Effendi, assert that the land does not belong to PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI), challenging the state-owned company's possession, while a lawsuit has been filed in the Central Jakarta District Court to resolve the ownership. This controversy highlights ongoing tensions over historical land titles in urban Jakarta, where the disputed area spans Kebon Kacang and Kebon Melati sub-districts and is currently used as a parking lot by a private logistics firm.",
        "content": "<p>The involvement of Gerakan Rakyat Indonesia Bersatu (GRIB) Jaya in\nthe land dispute in the Tanah Abang demolition area, Central Jakarta, is\nlinked to the organisation\u2019s appointment as legal representatives for\nthe heirs claiming ownership of the land. The heirs in question are\nSulaeman Effendi, who is claimed to be the owner of the land based on an\nold document in the form of Eigendom Verponding Number 946 from 1923 in\nthe name of Iljas Radjo Mentari. The General Chairman of GRIB Jaya,\nRosario de Marshall alias Hercules, stated that his side is supporting\nthe claim and refuting that the land belongs to PT Kereta Api Indonesia\n(KAI). \u201cBecause I know this land very well, as I have been here for\ndecades. This land does not belong to the railway,\u201d said Hercules at the\nlocation on Friday (10\/4\/2026). A member of GRIB Jaya\u2019s legal team,\nWilson Colling, said that the lawsuit has been filed at the Central\nJakarta District Court on 8 April 2026. \u201cThere (KAI) they also say it\u2019s\ntheirs, we also say it\u2019s ours. Therefore, we have registered it with the\ncourt so that the court can determine who owns it,\u201d said Wilson.\nAccording to Wilson, the basis for the ownership claim comes from the\nEigendom Verponding Number 946 document from 1923 in the name of Iljas\nRadjo Mentari, which has been inherited to Sulaeman Effendi. \u201cRather,\nthe land with the basis of old ownership in the form of Eigendom\nVerponding Number 946 from 1923 in the name of Iljas Radjo Mentari,\u201d he\nsaid. The location covers two administrative areas, namely Kebon Kacang\nWard and Kebon Melati Ward, Central Jakarta. The boundaries of the land\nare as follows: According to the GRIB Jaya side, the land is currently\nalso being used as a parking location for operational vehicles by a\nprivate logistics company.<\/p>",
