Justice in law enforcement

Justice in law enforcement

From Koran Tempo

The Jakarta provincial administration has been carrying out a series of evictions to enforce the law. Among the targets of these evictions are makeshift houses on riverbanks and buildings that violate city layout plans.

So far, ordinary people, with little knowledge of the legal system, have been the victims. Will the law similarly apply to the wealthy who are backed by attorneys?

A house owned by an official in Jakarta's Menteng area is reportedly located in a zone which is set to be rehabilitated. A building owned by the environment minister's office is located alongside the Cipinang river.

Now, the ordinary people of Jakarta are waiting to see if justice is upheld. Will the governor of Jakarta order the two buildings to be demolished without discrimination?
