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.
