JAKARTA - General Chairperson of the National Housing Development Alliance (Appernas Jaya) Adriliwan Muhammad regretted the statements of the Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) Maruarar Sirait (Ara) regarding the program of 3 million houses made by President Prabowo Subianto.

Adriliwan assessed that the property sector in the country is currently being hit by issues that are not good. So, it can make it difficult for the government itself to achieve the program's target.

"Most of those under our association are 80 percent working on subsidized houses. However, recently with the issue instability that should be controlled by the authorities, this (Minister of PKP) has even made unclear issues that have run everywhere," he said at a press conference in the Kebayoran Baru area, South Jakarta, Tuesday, February 18.

"Where does it impact? Actually, the impact of running everywhere is that I mean running to MBR (low-income people), running to developers and nothing but the government itself, in this case Pak Prabowo," he added.

The slanted issues range from the plan to change the FLPP distribution scheme to the stigmatization of rogue developers that has been sticking out recently.

"With the unstable issue, in my personal opinion it is a commotion that damages the economic order or does not side with the MBR. What should be with the presence of the Ministry (PKP) now, it has been 10 years (anticipated) we should have had extraordinary energy, yes. But, if I personally see approximately 100 days we are not enthusiastic about building subsidized houses," he said.

Adriliwan said, if the government cannot solve the slanted issue related to the property sector, later MBR will find it difficult to own a house and the 3 million house program will not be achieved.

"With this irresponsible issue, it will have an impact on the MBR itself. Yes, I think it will be difficult. I emphasize that it will be difficult three times, it will be difficult, it will be difficult for the people of MBR to get a house as desired by the President (Prabowo)," he concluded.
