WEST PAPUA DAYA - Residents of Gag Raja Ampat Island, Southwest Papua asked the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia to continue operating PT GAG Nickel, when receiving the minister's working visit.
"There is no such issue, sir, our sea is clean, the hoax is that if our island is damaged, our nature is fine, sir," Friska, a resident of Gag Island, told Bahlil in Sorong, as stated in Jakarta, Saturday, June 7.
Bahlil Lahadalia visited Gag Island, Raja Ampat, Sorong, West Papua, today. During the visit, the indigenous people of Gag Island welcomed him and asked to continue the operation of GAG Nickel.
The residents welcomed Bahlil's arrival with a banner that read, 'Our Sea is Clean, The News of Gag Island is Destroyed Hoax'. Dozens of residents asked Bahlil to immediately restore the operation of Gag Island, because with this termination, the economy of the surrounding community was affected.
"Our signs are blue, our seas are blue, our fish are abundant, our nature is rich," shouted the local residents.
