JAKARTA The execution of the emptying of Kampung Bayam, North Jakarta was chaotic, Tuesday afternoon, May 21. According to Sudir, one of the residents of Kampung Bayam, admitted that his party did not receive a notification letter regarding the emptying. In fact, said Sudir, his party was shocked, and suspected that Jakpro had summoned thugs to execute.

"I got information only from the Satpol PP, if there is no JIS security. Then I also saw earlier, like there were thugs," said Sudir when met at the location, Tuesday, May 21.

Sudir admitted that at the time of the incident he was leaving for work, then saw the occupants of the flat or neighbors being pulled by JIS security officers (Jakarta Internasional Stadium).

"I was going to work, I didn't know something happened like this. I came home with women who were also pulled, forced. So we were told to vacate," he said.

Nevertheless, continued Sudir, he will still live in his flat. Because for Sudir, he has a power of attorney over the flat.

"I will stay there. We already have a decree, we have each unit number. Now we just need to receive the key, it has been made difficult so far not to give it," he concluded.
