"This is a manifestation of KAI's seriousness in maintaining state assets as well as optimizing assets," said Daniel.

According to him, KAI in carrying out control in accordance with standard operating procedures (SOP) and applicable regulations because in every activity it is always carried out with the support of local regional officials, both TNI and Polri.

In carrying out control, he said, KAI made persuasive efforts through direct socialization to land users and notified the public of using assets that would be brought under control by passing letters to the relevant regional apparatus.

In addition, he continued, KAI always opens communication spaces for residents in these control locations.

Daniel admitted that KAI really respects the applicable laws in Indonesia, so to save assets is carried out through litigation and non-ligation channels.

"There are no acts of anarchism, confiscation of goods, or intimidation of residents, because the process of controlling KAI's land has complied with applicable procedures," he said.
