No longer cool in Bukit Sentul

No longer cool in Bukit Sentul

From Media Indonesia

With regard to a special feature on the Bukit Sentul residential area (Media Indonesia, Sept. 30, 2002), we, too, would like to address our complaints to the developer.

Our relative had a disappointing experience with the developer when he bought a house at Bukit Sentul because:

* He could make the payment of the house in Jakarta but had to settle all the necessary papers/documents in Sentul.

* Prior to obtaining the papers, residents are subject to unilaterally-drawn up regulations and are required to pay many additional fees/charges plus increasing the fees of environmental management (IPL).

* When the house was purchased about four years ago, the area was still cool but now it is hot and barren so that residents sold their houses.
