Bidara Cina's apartment complex

JAKARTA (JP): President Soeharto is scheduled to inaugurate the low-cost apartment complex in Bidara Cina, East Jakarta, next March.

Governor Surjadi Soedirdja visited the apartments on Wednesday to have a close look at the construction of the project.

He said that the complex is equipped with social and public facilities, including spaces for kiosks on the ground floor and a multifunction room on the first floor.

"This housing complex is intended mainly for residents of the Bidara Cina subdistrict and Kebon Baru subdistrict in South Jakarta, whose lands were appropriated to make way for the construction of the Ciliwung river project," Surjadi said.

Head of the city housing office Ongky Sukasah said that the apartment complex is part of the city's Kampong Improvement Project to provide sanitary housing for low-income Jakartans. (yns)
