JAKARTA - Amran (50), a victim of eviction and relocation from Kampung Pulo is still waiting for the decision of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan regarding his residence which was forcibly evicted by the Flat Management Unit 1 (UPRS) Rusunawa Jatinegara Barat.

Amran again told that the UPRS Rusunawa Jatinegara Barat asked him to leave because of requests from local residents, or Amran's neighbors. This was due to a legal case involving his daughter, MS, throwing away the baby.

According to Amran, this is not the case. Amran explained that he had never heard of any complaints from residents of West Jatinegara Rusunawa after his daughter was involved in the law. In fact, the man who had served as the relocation administrator for Kampung Pulo often received good treatment from his neighbors.

"They too, our residents who are claimed by UPRS, do not like our children. It turns out that many people like our children. Neighbors care. In fact, they have helped a lot for NA (MS child who was dumped in Ciliwung River), our grandson, " he explained.

Now, Amran is counting the days. After he received a letter to vacate the Rusunawa unit until the deadline of July 15, he asked for the wisdom of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan. This is because Amran admits that he has no other place to live besides the flat he currently lives in.

"It was decided that we are no longer entitled to it, it will be vacated until July 15. The unit will be submitted to residents who are on a waiting list," Amran told VOI, Tuesday, July 5.

Amran, who currently lives with his wife, one child and grandson, hopes that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will continue to allow them to live in the West Jatinegara Rusunawa.

"Because we are very close to the residents here. I hope, I will still live in Rusunawa Jatinegara Barat," he hoped.

Amran hopes that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government can be fair to the victims and the relocation of the Kebon Pala eviction 7 years ago.

"I hope to get fair treatment from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, so that our grandchildren are given the right to live in West Jatinegara Rusunawa," he said.

Previously, Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, promised to find a solution for Amran and his wife who were threatened with being forcibly evicted from Rusunawa Jatinegara Barat. Amran was asked to leave the flat as a result of the baby dumping case by his daughter.

"In principle, we will find the best solution for the benefit of all, for their children, their families, and the community in the flat," said Riza at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Monday, July 4.

Riza confirmed that the case of dumping a baby by a female student who is Amran's daughter violates the rules in DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation (Pergub) Number 111 of 2014 concerning the Occupancy Mechanism of Simple Rent Flats.

The legal basis for the termination of this lease refers to Article 5 of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Number 111 of 2014 which states that the residents of the Flats are obliged to obey the regulations and maintain environmental order.

Therefore, Riza views that Amran and his wife who is now taking care of his grandson cannot also be punished, even though his son has now been detained by the police.

"Indeed, according to the rules and regulations, the family there must leave (from Rusunawa). However, this is because of the humanitarian element, we are looking for the best solution. Because the child is guilty, the child has already been punished. Is it true that one family should receive punishment? between regulations, rules, and elements of humanity, we are looking for the best solution for all," he explained.

According to the UPRS, according to the UPRS, based on the Governor's Regulation (Pergub) Number 111 of 2014 concerning the Occupancy Mechanism of Simple Rental Flats.
