As a small-scale vendor, I would like to voice my opinion about the development of the Tanah Abang market in particular, and other similar projects in general.

Tanah Abang has been rebuilt into a new, modern, multistory trading center. In fact, kiosk owners do not mind if the government or developers turn the market into a 25-floor building, or construct other such projects, as long as the original shops are restored.

For a long time, I owned a 15-m2 kiosk on the second floor of the market. After the reconstruction, a kiosk of that size on the same floor should belong to me.

In this way, kiosk owners will not have to repurchase new shops and their interests will not be harmed, while developers can make a profit from the other floors they have built.
