SURABAYA - The Surabaya City Nahdlatul Ulama Branch Manager stated that in principle he supports the residents' desire for one of the former Dolly localization buildings to become a State Junior High School (SMP) building.

"In principle, if it becomes a community need, we agree, we support it," said Head of the Surabaya City Nahdlatul Ulama (PCNU) Branch Management Ahmad Muhibbin Zuhri as reported by Antara, Monday, May 30.

According to him, since the time of the Mayor of Surabaya Tri Rismaharini, the former Dolly localization building has been used to address social, economic and moral problems.

"That has to do with children as well because the environment at that time was not healthy with the localization," he said.

In addition, he continued, the public or former commercial sex workers (PSK) can get a substitute or a substitute for income from the existence of a place of business or economic center provided by the Surabaya City Government.

"If for example, as of today, residents feel they need a school other than an economic center, why not. Moreover, it is also for the sake of PPDB (New Student Admission)," he said.

However, he continued, his party asked the Surabaya City Government to carry out rearrangements in the former Dolly localization area.

"The municipal government needs to review the current development planning for the former Dolly localization," he said.

Previously, one of the residents of Sawahan, Surabaya, Setyo Nugroho had conveyed the request to the Chairman of the Golkar faction of the Surabaya DPRD Arif Fathoni while attending a consolidation activity for the Sawahan Golkar Party District Leaders on Jalan Banyuurip Surabaya, Sunday (29/5).

"This is so that local residents are not affected by the zoning policy during PPDB (New Student Admission)," said Setyo.

Seeing this, the chairman of the Golkar faction of the Surabaya DPRD, Arif Fathoni, said that his party had voiced the need for special policies for sub-districts that did not have a public junior high school, either in Putat Jaya, Medokan Ayu and Benowo villages.

"This is so that local residents can continue to attend public schools, not be affected by the zoning policy. Hopefully, there will be a special policy from the mayor related to this classic problem," he said.
