JAKARTA - The main building of the South Sulawesi Regional Representative Council (DPRD) building, which was burned by the mass demonstrators in August 2025, will soon be demolished.
Based on the results of the study by the Ministry of Public Works (Ministry of PU), the building is no longer suitable and must be rebuilt.
"After the Ministry of PU conducted a re-examination, it turned out that the plenary room or the main building had to be reconstructed, it had to be demolished," said the Secretary of the South Sulawesi DPRD Council, Muhammad Jabir in Makassar, Saturday, quoted by Antara.
This followed the count of the central government through the Ministry of PU, although initially the Sulsel DPRD Secretariat building which suffered severe damage was estimated to be reconstructed, while others were only rehabilitated.
"Initially, the building that was estimated to be reconstructed was only the secretariat building, the other was rehabilitation. For example, the Tower Building was rehabilitated, the fraksi rooms (main building) and the building that we usually use for paripurna were heavily rehabilitated," he explained.
On this basis, Jabir said, his party had submitted the deletion of assets for the secretariat building, and the Sulsel Governor's Decree (SK) had been issued for assets to be deleted.
However, according to the latest study, according to the Ministry of PU, the main building used by the leadership and plenary meeting must be demolished and rebuilt, because it is considered not suitable for use. Therefore, his party will propose again the deletion of assets to the governor.
"So, it must first be physically removed. There must be a mechanism for the governor's decision. We have not proposed it. What exists is only the SK for the removal of the secretariat building," he said.
So far, the contractor PT Hutama Karya is working on repairing the canteen, aspiration room, room for the Sulsel DPRD Honor Committee (BK), Tower Building. The latest information, the lift is being prepared after the old one was declared damaged.
He explained that the initial count when reviewed by the Director General of Cipta Karya after the mass burning incident during the anarchist action on August 29, 2025 was explained that the reconstructed secretariat building, later changed after the study.
"It has been explained by the Director General at that time, that this secretariat building can no longer be, it must be demolished. If the plenary building has to be heavily rehabilitated, at that time. But, it cannot be demolished without a decision from the governor, because there must be a physical removal of assets," he said.
However, according to Jabir, the main building of the South Sulawesi DPRD was demolished and rebuilt. The reason is that this building has been standing since 1984. In addition, the capacity of this main building if it is only re-foam is problematic in the future.
"If it is reconstructed and rebuilt, it will be much better. If the tower, it is only rehabilitation. Rahab so far has only 20 percent progress, so it can't be used. Maybe it can be used next year. The entire budget is from the center," he said.
In addition, the environmental impact analysis (Amdal), said Jabir, must be fulfilled and immediately taken care of. Considering that the amdal is related to the demolition of the building. "So the point is, the full-fledged building rehabilitation is canceled. It must be leveled to rebuild," he said.
