JAKARTA - Chairman of Commission A for the Administration of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Mujiyoni said that his party would summon the Regent of the Thousand Islands, Junaedi, in a working meeting next week.

This working meeting, said Mujiyono, will discuss the evaluation of the APBD to the government in the Thousand Islands, including the finding of a helipad which is illegal in Pulau Panjang.

"Next Monday and Wednesday, a second quarter 2022 budget absorption evaluation meeting is scheduled. Certainly questions about the helipad findings will also be asked," said Mujiyono in a short message, Wednesday, July 6.

As is known, the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edi Marsudi, conducted an impromptu inspection (sidak) on Panjang Island, Seribu Islands, some time ago. This inspection was carried out after receiving reports from Jakarta residents that there was use of a helicopter pad or helipad on the island.

When he arrived at Panjang Island, Prasetyo found a helipad inside the island, which is located in Kelapa Island Village, North Thousand Islands District.

Based on information received by Prasetyo, this helipad was built and used by a private party. However, it turns out that this utilization was not recorded by the DKI Provincial Government.

"I came to Pulau Panjang for inspection purposes. I found out that one of them has a helipad that is being used by a private party. If we don't come here, where can we have a helipad. How come there is a Helipad in DKI assets, but we don't report it to us. illegal helipads, stealth helipads," said Prasetyo, Thursday, June 30.

Prasetyo said that there should be a permit application to the DKI Provincial Government for the use of this government-owned land or asset. Parties who use these assets must also pay a levy which will go into the regional treasury.

"If the helipad is official, every time it lands it gives income to the provincial government, right. But so far it hasn't. He doesn't report transparently that there is land use in it," said Prasetyo.

Responding to this, the Regent of the Thousand Islands Junaedi admitted that the helicopter pad or helipad on Panjang Island, Seribu Islands is often used by the private sector. This helicopter was previously considered illegal by the chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD.

Junaedi said the private party used a helipad for vacation purposes and visited a privately owned island in the Thousand Islands.

"There are, there are those who like to land there (helipads) on Panjang Island. The private sector uses a lot. I don't control it," Junaedi said when met on Pramuka Island, Seribu Islands, Thursday, June 30.

Junaedi also said that so far there has been no retribution to the DKI Provincial Government for the use of the helipad. The pretext is that there is no regulation that obliges the collection of helipad levies on Panjang Island.

"There is no retribution rule. Many ships are still free, especially helicopters which are rare, maybe once a month, twice," said Junaedi.
