Five Housing Developers Boss Asks To Meet Prabowo, Why?

JAKARTA - Five general chairmen of the developer association said they wanted to meet with President Prabowo Subianto to discuss the program of 3 million houses.

They are Chairman of Real Estate Indonesia (REI) Joko Suranto, Chairman of the Association for Housing and Settlement Development throughout Indonesia (Apersi) Junaidi Abdillah.

Then, General Chairperson of the Jaya National Housing Development Alliance (Appernas Jaya) Andriliwan Muhammad, Chairman of the Association for Settlement and Public Housing Development (Himperra) Ari Tri Priyono and Chairman of the National House Development and Marketing Association (Asprumnas) M. Syawali.

They assessed that there were a number of steps that caused uncertainty in the property industry.

Chairman of Real Estate Indonesia (REI) Joko Suranto said the developer from the start welcomed and supported the noble and positive program.

For more than three months, the developer has supported and followed the spirit of the Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP). In fact, accompanying PKP Minister Maruarar Sirait (Ara) to inspect residential locations.

However, the developers assessed that the condition of the housing sector raised questions.

"What arises is unnecessary noise," Joko said at a press conference in the Kebayoran Baru area, South Jakarta, Tuesday, February 18.

The commotion in question is the issue that the government is building a free house, a plan to reduce the price of subsidized houses, the use of land confiscated by corruptors for the construction of houses and plans to build a housing purchasing central.

"Then, the statement raised the quota for Housing Financing Liquidity Facilities (FLPP) to 800,000 units, the emergence of rogue developer stigmatization and inviting advocates to advocate developers," said Joko.

Joko assessed that this condition resulted in developers feeling that they did not receive guidance and protection from the government.

In addition, developers are worried about their business future, including the future of their workforce and also feel that there is no business certainty in the housing sector.

"The issue of developers is eager to meet with President Prabowo Subianto and wants to hear firsthand the concept of the 3 million house program which is one of the President's mainstay programs," Joko hoped.
