Highest tower in Kemayoran?

Highest tower in Kemayoran?

From Media Indonesia

I could not help wondering after reading an article entitled Dibangun di Kemayoran Menara Tertinggi Ketiga di Dunia (The world's third highest tower to be built in Kemayoran) in a city newspaper on Sept. 13, 1995. What's really the objective of the project, which will cost Rp 900 billion (US$400 million)? Isn't that fantastic?

The money could instead be used for developing the least developed villages in this country and to improve the lives of people who are still living under the poverty line. We could also build a great number of school buildings. This program would be more beneficial for the communities and would speak louder about the success achieved by the New Order, rather than a single tower.
