BANDUNG - The Tamansari Wildlife Foundation (YMT) stated that it complied with the Bandung City Government's policy regarding the sealing of the Bandung Zoo area as part of the arrangement of regional assets.
YMT Chairman John Sumampauw assessed the sealing as a form of firmness of the Bandung City Government apparatus in disciplining the management of state assets which have been problematic.
"If I see this as a form of firmness that we are looking for, that finally the Bandung City apparatus is really serious about responding to irresponsible people who occupy state land, state assets," said John in Bandung, Antara, Thursday, February 5.
Even though the YMT conservation agency's permit has been revoked, John emphasized that his party would still be cooperative and accept all government policies.
"We also appreciate that our LK permit was revoked. We are manut and cooperative with government policies, and always cooperative whatever it is," he said.
He added, the Tamansari Wildlife Foundation is officially ready to withdraw from managing the Bandung Zoo and return all the animals that have been entrusted to the authorities.
According to John, this step is a form of compliance with government policies as well as a commitment to ensure that the welfare of animals is maintained during the transition period of management.
"In principle, we are ready to withdraw and return all the animals to the authorities. We want this process to run well and the animals to remain protected," he said.
John hopes that in the future Bandung Zoo can be managed by professional and experienced parties so that it can maximize the potential of regional assets owned by the City Government of Bandung.
"Our hope is that the Bandung Zoo will be managed by professional managers, who have experience, and can really maximize the city's assets," he said.
He also assessed that good management would have a direct impact on increasing local original revenues (PAD).
"If it is managed properly, it will be a significant PAD income for the City of Bandung. But if it is not managed properly, this will actually become a burden on the City of Bandung," said John.
