Puri Dewata Indah housing complex

Puri Dewata Indah housing complex

From Media Indonesia

I have been living at Puri Dewata Indah in Cipondoh, Tangerang, West Java for the last six years. The housing complex is the responsibility of the developer PT Cahaya Baru Raya (CBR) which has since changed its name to PT Cahaya Baru Raya Realty (CBRR). The company has not fulfilled its obligation to provide the complex with social and general facilities.

In order to construct a mosque we were forced to make contributions to have the facility built. Part of the main road to the complex was taken over by the developer to be turned into an access route to the Taman Royal Permata housing complex, recently renamed Permata California.

Since the existence of the new complex, the Puri Dewata Indah complex has been neglected. The 200-meter road to the complex has been in a deplorable state for years.

We were therefore astounded to read in the newspapers recently that Tangerang mayor Djakaria Machmud praised the developer who, it was said, had put aside funds for orphans, the poor, the elderly and the needy in the area.

We regret the mayor's hasty evaluation of PT CBRR while the company has not yet fulfilled its many obligations. We also wonder why PT CBR changed its name to PT CBRR. Hopefully, this was not meant to exempt them from their obligations.

The inhabitants have endured the situation without complaining about the impact of PT CBRR's activities, like the damage caused to roads by heavy trucks. To our knowledge, PT CBRR uses PT CBR's old permit. This means that Puri Dewata Indah is still the moral responsibility of PT CBRR.

There is a limit to anybody's patience. Six years has been a very long time.
