DKI Provincial Government Makes Residents Of Kayu Putih Annoyed, Wants To Build Puskesmas But On RTH Land

Residents of Tanah Mas housing, RW 01, Kayu Putih Village, Pulogadung District, East Jakarta complained about the plan to build a Puskesmas that was occupying Tanah Mas Green Open Space (RTH).

All residents of RW 01 objected to the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's plan for the construction of the Puskesmas project. The reason is, residents of RW 01 need more green open space in their area.

Residents of RW 01 also claimed that complaints about the rejection of the conversion of land for this park were also supported by 9 other RWs in Kayu Putih Village. The RWs that also support the residents of RW 01 are RW 03, 04, 05, 06, 10, 14, 15, 16 and RW 17.

"Residents have never rejected the construction of a health center but please not on green open space, not only green open space in Tanah Mas but in green open space anywhere, just don't," said Godham, one of the residents of RW 01 Tanah Mas Housing to reporters, Wednesday, November 22.

Godham assessed that the existence of green open space in the RW 01 area is very important for residents.

"The current green open space has decreased, where will our green open space be if the Puskesmas is built?. (residents) really need green open space, not only us but all residents," he said.

"We need a health center, but we also need green open space," he added.

Residents hope that the existence of the Tanah Mas green open space will remain standing without any reduced land.

"We hope that we don't wake up the health center here. RTH is being treated by the village (Kayu Putih) to make it more beautiful and neat. Together with residents to make it better," residents hoped.
