Islamic Village replies

From Suara Karya

In response to Mr. Ilhamy Elias' letter on April 10, I need to give the following clarification:

1. In 1972, the Islamic Village Foundation invited taklim council members in Jakarta to participate in the acquisition of land in Kelapa Dua village, Curug, Tangerang, in a plan to build a pilot project for a settlement area, mainly for Moslems.

2. In 1976, the foundation persuaded all people who had bought a plot of land to start building their houses. Up until 1987, however, only 14 members responded to the invitation.

3. Based on the conditions and objective of the permit by the Tangerang regional administration, the Islamic Village Foundation was obliged to carry out the construction of the infrastructure and houses, according to the site plan legalized by the Tangerang planning and development board.

4. The construction of the Islamic Village's infrastructure could not be carried out by the foundation without a concerted contribution based on each landowner's plot size.

5. Until now, 1997, the construction of the infrastructure and houses has gone through stages I, II, III and IV, in which 696 members have received their plots of land. The plots of land have been given certificates in the name of 433 buyers. There are prospective buyers who have not joined in the program of the construction of the infrastructure and houses.

6. The Islamic Village Foundation has carried out the construction of the Villa Ilhami houses and has assigned PT Mustika Hadi Asri as the developer for land owned by the Islamic Village Foundation.

Members who have ordered plots of land can obtain information from the section of land and construction at the Islamic Village Foundation during business hours.
