JAKARTA - Spokesperson for Moeldoko's Democrat Party, Muhammad Rahmad, said that President Joko Widodo will continue the construction of the Hambalang Sport Center in Bogor, which was stalled in the era of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY).
"Several days ago, President Joko Widodo has planned to continue the construction of Hambalang," said Rahmad during a press conference in Hambalang, Bogor. West Java, Thursday 25 March.
According to him, the General Chair of the Democratic Party, Moeldoko, has communicated about the plan to continue the mega project worth IDR 2.5 trillion.
"So the Democrat Party led by Mr. Moeldoko encouraged the president to continue the Hambalang project. In order to support the Hambalang project to be continued. So that the Hambalang temples would not occur," said Rahmad.
Previously, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) was considering resuming the mega project of the National Training Center and Sports School in Bukit Hambalang, West Java Regency which had been dormant for years or was neglected.
The news that the government will revive Hambalang has indeed been detected for a long time. Jokowi promised to continue the legacy project from the era of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) since 2016, but until now it has not been realized.
At that time, Jokowi asked the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) to examine the possibility of continuing the project.
Some time ago, the Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) Zainudin Amali said that Hambalang would be transformed into a place for senior and talented athletes. The plan is already on the big agenda of the National Sports Design.
"We are considering seeing Hambalang a center for senior athletes and our athletes who are ready to compete," Zainudin was quoted as saying from YouTube's Presidential Secretariat, Tuesday, March 15.
He said that Hambalang was not the only project the government would speed up. There are still other projects that will also be made for national athletes.
"We will create 10 training centers in several areas, and the most basic is talent in elementary school," he said.
