MEDAN - Pemko Medan will re-build a monument which is right in front of the Medan Post Office. It is certain that the monument that will be built will be exactly the same as the first time it was built during the Dutch colonial period.
"This (the monument) will be repaired, not demolished and then used as a road. In fact, the monument that we will build later is the same as the one that was first built," said Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution, quoted from a written statement by Public Relations of the Medan City Government, Tuesday, August 16.
Bobby Nasution said that the monument used to be small as a sign of the zero point of Medan City, not like the existing building. "The improvements made are included in the revitalization of Merdeka Square," he explained.
The Medan City Government, continued Bobby Nasution, has recorded all heritage buildings in the city of Medan, including those that are not included in the assets of the Medan City Government.
"We have all data (heritage buildings)," he said.
Meanwhile, the Head of Medan City Bappeda Benny Iskandar said the improvements were made in the context of structuring and revitalizing Merdeka Square.
"Later, we will rebuild it according to its original form. Because the existing building yesterday was not suitable and covered the post office cultural heritage building," he said.
