Anies Changes Street Names, 350 Thousand Islands Residents Create New KTPs

JAKARTA - As many as 350 residents of the Thousand Islands Regency made new Identity Cards (KTP) because they were affected by the change in street names set by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.

"In us (the Thousand Islands) there are 350 ID cards that we printed regarding the change in street names," said Head of the Population and Civil Registration Sub-Department (Dukcapil) of the Thousand Islands Regency, Ginanjar, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, June 29.

According to Ginanjar, there are two roads in Panggang Island Village, North Thousand Islands, which have changed their names, namely Jalan Kyai Mursalin and Jalan Habib Ali bin Ahmad.

Kyai Mursalin bin Nailin is a scholar figure as well as a martial arts champion on Panggang Island, the Thousand Islands. However, the origins of his parents are immigrants from West Java.

Meanwhile, Habib Ali bin Ahmad Bin Zen Al-Aidid, also known as Habib Panggang, is a cleric who spread Islam in the Thousand Islands.

Meanwhile, Head of the North Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Sub-Department, Edward Idris, said that none of his residents were affected by the change in street names.

According to Edward, there are no documents for residents affected by the change in the name of the new street, because in North Jakarta there is only one street that has changed its name, namely Jalan Mualim Teko.

"There is only a mangrove forest and one apartment whose residents do not use the street name (in their residency documents)," said Edward.
