JAKARTA - The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Puan Maharani, opened the IV Session Period for the 2024-2025 Session Year after the council underwent a recess.

In the opening speech of the trial, Puan expressed her appreciation to President Prabowo Subianto for the government's quick response in resolving the issue of nickel mining in Raja Ampat and the dispute over 4 islands between Aceh and North Sumatra.

In the meeting, all Deputy Speakers of the DPR, namely Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, Adies Kadir, Saan Mustopa, and Cucun Ahmad Syamsurijal were present.

"The DPR RI appreciates the policy of President Prabowo Subianto's government which is responsive in taking action to overcome mining problems in Raja Ampat and the dispute problem of 4 islands between Aceh Province and North Sumatra, so that it does not drag on," said Puan in a plenary meeting, Tuesday, June 24.

As is known, the government on the orders of President Prabowo finally revoked the mining business license (IUP) of 4 companies on the small islands of Raja Ampat, Southwest Papua, because violations were found.

The government revoked mining permits 4 out of 5 companies in Raja Ampat. The four companies whose permits were revoked were PT Anugerah Surya Pratama, PT Nurham, PT Mulia Raymond Perkasa, and PT Kawei Sejahtera Mining.

Meanwhile, PT GAG Nickel, which was highlighted by the permit, was not revoked because based on the results of the Government's evaluation, the company complied with environmental regulations and good waste management according to the analysis regarding the environmental impact of hridup (Amdal).

In addition, Prabowo decided that Panjang Island, Lipan Island, Mangkir Gadang Island, and Mangkir Ketek Island belonged to Aceh based on administrative documents owned by the Government. The four islands had become a dispute between Aceh and North Sumatra.

According to Puan, the government's quick and accountable steps in resolving these issues are a tangible form of the state's presence in ensuring the interests of the people.

"The presence of the State which is shown by the government's swift, precise, accountable, transparent, and beneficial actions for the people, has always been the hope of the people and all of us," said Puan.

Puan also officially opened the DPR trial period. He also invited the public to supervise the work of the DPR.

"By saying bismillahirrahmanirrahim, I on behalf of the leadership of the DPR RI announced to all Indonesian people that this session period will start from Tuesday, June 24, 2025 to July 24, 2025," said Puan.

"The Indonesian people can participate in supervising and participating in every implementation of the functions and duties of the DPR RI in accordance with the mechanisms and conditions," he said.
