Bogor Satpol PP Lamban, Warga Puncak Bongkar Sendiri Bangunan Bodong Hibisc Fantasy

The Hibisc Fantasy tourist building in Puncak Bogor was forcibly demolished, Thursday, March 6, 2025 (ANTARA)

BOGOR - Hundreds of Cisarua residents forcibly dismantled buildings at the Hibisc Fantasy tourist site using heavy equipment, Thursday afternoon. Residents were upset because the Satpol PP officers were considered slow not to immediately dismantle the tourist location which was accused of being one of the causes of the flash flood in Puncak Bogor.

Previously, West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi stated that the tourist location built by the BUMD company owned by the West Java Provincial Government had to be demolished because it was not in accordance with its designation. The Hibisc Fantasy tourist location was built on the Gunung Mas tea forest area covering an area of about 21 hectares.

It is sad that only about 4,800 meters of area have received permission, while the rest are not licensed or fake.

The existence of this tourist location was also accused of being one of the causes of the Puncak flood that occurred at the beginning of last week.

Hundreds of these residents asked the Bogor Regency Satpol PP to immediately dismantle the Hibisc Fantasy tourist building. This afternoon there was a riot between residents and the workers.

The residents' anger was ignited again this afternoon because they did not get confirmation of demolition. Hundreds of these residents finally forcibly dismantled the tourist building which was built with hundreds of billions of funds.

"Just look at this, how many hectares of Hibisc Fantasy building are there. Residents are patient, you see the governor's instructions. See the governor's instructions, but Satpol PP is silent. At least today Hibisc Fantasy has been dismantled," said Hendrik, one of the residents.
