Investors ruin land

Investors ruin land

From Republika

We highly appreciate the government's achievement in developing this country. Our village in Bandulu, Anyer, Serang in West Java not withstanding. Ours is a beautiful village with cool air. This has been a site most coveted by investors and many of them have built villas and hotels.

This investment has contributed to the betterment of the life of the villagers. However, lately, the development has gone to such a level that it has started to ruin the people.

Green lands belonging to the local people have almost all been bought over by investors. These investors cut down all the trees on those lands. This gradually results in the drying up of our earth wells. Efforts to find other wells nearby will always end up in the plots of land belonging to investors.

We earnestly hope that the Serang administration will pay attention to this serious matter. We don't want unbecoming things to happen, do we? And it is much better to prevent something terrible from happen than to overcome it when it has already happened.
