JAKARTA - A number of residents of the Pademangan Marinatama Mangga Dua (MD) shophouse have again received terror in the form of a circular warning letter for emptying with number SE/08/XII/2025/Inkopal.

The letter contained payments for rent extensions and warnings for the emptying of the Marina Mangga Dua shophouse, Pademangan, North Jakarta.

The warning letter is based on the deed of lease agreement for Ruko Marina Pademangan, North Jakarta which ends on December 31, 2025 and letter number SE/07/X1/2025/Inkopal dated November 5, 2025 regarding the payment for the lease extension of Kokan Marinatama Mangga Dua, Pademangan Barat, North Jakarta.

Responding to the circulation of the letter from Inkopal, residents of the Pademangan MMD felt pressured and objected.

Wisnu Hadikusuma, a resident of MMD Pair, said that his party continues to feel worried and depressed over the emergence of the emptying warning letter.

"Residents are now under pressure again for Ikopal's actions which are considered unreasonable in the circular letter given to residents," said Wisnu in a statement received on Thursday, December 11, 2025.

Wisnu admitted that the residents of MMD Pademangan got their shophouses by buying them in a good way.

"We got this shophouse by buying and there is evidence of a sale and purchase agreement, through a notary in 1997," he said.

Meanwhile, the attorney for 42 residents of MMD Pademangan, Subali, said that Inkopal's actions by sending a warning letter to residents of the shophouse actually hit the existing legal rules. The reason is, the lawsuit process is still rolling in the Jakarta Administrative Court.

Even according to Subali, Inkopal does not have the authority to empty residents. Subali emphasized that the emptying process must have a decision on execution from the court.

"What Inkopal has to do is return the shophouse to the residents. Instead, emptying is an act outside of legal procedures," he said.

Subali said that Inkopal did not have a legal standing for the circular given 42 residents of the Pademangan MMD.

According to him, the location is on behalf of the Ministry of Defense with NO SHP 477, which is currently still in the judicial review of the cancellation of SHP with NO Perka 362, at the Jakarta Administrative Court.

"Ikopal does not have legal blocking of 42 residents, because the location is in the name of the Ministry of Defense. There is also no assignment letter from the Ministry of Defense, even in the contents of the circular there is no copy to the Ministry of Defense," he explained.

Previously, a follow-up hearing with the agenda of improving evidence from the defendants and the defendants of intervention took place at the Jakarta Administrative Court on Wednesday, December 10, 2025. Then the next trial will be held on Friday, December 19, next.
