Palembang cultural site

Palembang cultural site

From Rakyat Merdeka

What is behind the coercion to develop a commercial area on a cultural reserve area, formerly the location of the Garuda/Military Police Detachment headquarters, as the area is protected by law? The people of South Sumatra are curious about this as a cultural reserve site in Palembang has been misused for business purposes.

Another question: What has Palembang municipality administration set up a surveillance committee for? A regional regulation to this effect has actually been issued.

In this context, we, the South Sumatra Social Group Front (FrEM Sumsel), set up by 33 non-governmental organizations from South Sumatra, are now preparing a class action suit against relevant parties, particularly the license issuer (the municipality administration) and the investors.

The front specifically reminds investors to think very, very carefully before investing in this cultural reserve area because the area is protected by law and belongs to the entire Indonesian nation.

Our class action will not stop until the area is declared a national cultural reserve park.

Palembang municipality head should leave behind fond memories, instead of a black and damaging record when he ends his term of office.
