Demolition by force

Demolition by force

From Pelita

Not many people know that permission from the mayoralty is
required for constructing a fence around a plot of land, besides
the permission for constructing a building. Therefore the
community should be informed about this matter.

The people will be outraged if the authorities do not pay
attention to this problem. Plots needs to be fenced to avoid
individuals from causing ownership problems, such as falsifying
the land titles etc.

The fencing of the land at Jl. Perda 1, RT007/RW05, South
Petukangan, South Jakarta, was done in order to give a sense of
security to myself as the owner.

I have been applying for permission from the mayoralty but the
process is very long simply because of strict regulations and
bureaucracy. Despite the fact that the application for permission
is still underway, the fence was demolished on Oct. 6, 1994 at
noon. So all efforts were to no avail and I have wasted time and
money. I appeal to the authority concerned to pay due attention
to this matter.
