JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto promises to build 1 million houses for workers and workers. The house, said the President, will be placed near the industrial area so that workers no longer have to spend time and money on the road.
Prabowo made the promise when attending the Labor Day commemoration at Monas, Jakarta, Friday, May 1.
"It was also conveyed that workers really need houses, affordable houses," said Prabowo.
He said the government had built around 350,000 houses this year. However, the target is bigger. The government wants to start building 1 million houses in the same year.
According to Prabowo, workers' houses should not be built as long as there is land. He wants the area to become a new city with schools, sports facilities, childcare facilities, hospitals, and public transportation.
"I have planned that we will make new cities. Each city may consist of 100,000 houses," he said.
Prabowo also touched on the burden of contractors, which has been eroding workers' income. He wants the money that is usually used for house contracts to be transferred into home installments.
"The one who was 30 percent for the contract, we reduce it. That's for you to pay off your own house," he said.
He opened the option of long installments, ranging from 20 years to 40 years, so that workers can still have a house. Prabowo also said the government would prepare cheap transportation for workers.
"Workers who are given cards can ride transportation at a very light price," he said.
