JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto praised the quick work of state-owned enterprises (BUMN) in the construction sector, which are members of the Badan Pengelola Investasi Danantara, because they managed to build 600 temporary housing units for refugees in 8 days.
"Danantara proved that in eight days it could build 600 housing units which I think is quite good. Our focus is how we can reduce and alleviate the suffering of the people. That is our obligation as officials and leaders," said President Prabowo after checking the Danantara Housing House which was built for refugees in Aceh Tamiang Regency, Aceh Province, Thursday.
The President then stated that Danantara's quick work was a tangible proof of the state's presence to alleviate the difficulties of refugees, most of whom still live in evacuation posts and tents.
In a limited meeting at the Danantara Housing Complex in Aceh Tamiang, Thursday afternoon, President Prabowo instructed Danantara to use simple, but effective local materials to make the temporary residence comfortable for refugees. "The solution does not have to be expensive, it can be from local materials or textiles to cover the zinc so that it is not hot. This is a form of creativity of people in the field," said Prabowo to Danantara and state-owned enterprises in the construction sector who built the Danantara Housing House.
The instruction was given directly by the President to Danantara after President Prabowo saw a number of Danantara Housing Units in Aceh Tamiang. The houses built by Danantara were made with a modular system, using a light steel frame, and the walls using GRC board possibilities, then the roof using zinc material.
Generally, the use of zinc as a roof makes the temperature inside the residence warmer when using tiles. However, this heat can be mitigated by installing an insulation system, or by painting the roof with a special layer to reflect sunlight.
In the temporary housing complex built by Danantara, there is a play area for children, a toilet area that is separate from the residence, a health clinic, and a drainage system. The residences created by Danantara are also equipped with electricity and WiFi.
In Aceh Tamiang, the Danantara Housing House was built on land managed by PTPN.
