JAKARTA - Rocky Gerung's clash with PT Sentul City Tbk over a land dispute in Bogor, West Java has become a hot topic of discussion in the media. Many people consider this problem as an attempt to silence Rocky Gerung because it is considered counter to the current government policy. Even the issue of fighting over land ownership was brought into the political realm.

“I understand that, this is not just my house. This is a matter of national land politics. Which is also special because it involves the name Sentul. People ask how can Sentul have such a large land, maybe half of the district. Where did Rocky Gerung get the land from? I said it moved around, the letter was complete.” said Rocky Gerung during an online discussion with a journalist on the show 'The House Wants To Be Evicted, Rocky Gerung Santai Piara Cebong' on the Rocky Gerung Official YouTube account.

In the show Rocky explained that he defended his land because something was wrong.

“All my friends thought something was wrong. Indeed, it was because it was not right that I defended that right. People think I'm usurping that right. There is no land ownership. We can have rights to the land, not rights to the land.” Rocky said.

Rocky explains why land disputes are brought into politics. According to him, it cannot be separated from the history of the land. Rocky said, Sentul City has the right to use the building (HGB) which he also claims.

“Then people ask you have the right to use the building but why don't you build a building there. So, from where? It could be from brokers, even bigger brokers. Brokers of state officials who play, or state officials who play with their capital are sentul. That's what turned into real politics." explained Roxky Gerung.

It was later discovered that the transfer of control was registered in Bojong Koneng Village, Babakan Madang District, Bogor Regency under number 592/VI/2009. Rocky claims to have a non-dispute certificate signed by the village head of Bojong Koneng.

Sentul City sent a subpoena with a letter numbered 128/SC-LND/VII/2021 to Rocky dated July 28, 2021. Sentul City stated that it is the legal right holder on the land where Rocky's house stands. Sentul City's subpoena to Rocky was not only sent once. The company again sent subpoenas to Rocky on August 6 and 12, 2021.
