JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono revealed the central government and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's plan to re-revitate the National Monument (Monas) area to be greener.

The previous Monas area was only revitalized by former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan. Heru said he would discuss this with experts.

"We just discussed it with our expert friends, later. Later with the Development Assistant," said Heru at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Thursday, October 20.

Meanwhile, for the Monas design which will be revitalized again, Heru has not disclosed the details. What is clear, there is a replanting of trees in the national icon area.

"We will combine the trees. Later, maybe in IRTI there will be parking repairs. We'll see the design," explained Heru.

Previously, SOE Minister Erick Thohir and Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono agreed to re-design the National Monument (Monas) area to be greener.

According to Erick, the Monas area as a national icon must prioritize the concept of reforestation, such as the concept of the hjau area at the Bung Karno Complex (GBK). Erick also asked Heru to take care of the design changes.

"Monas is certainly a public part, a very green area. Later, Mr. Heru will design (the Monas area), with the Minister of State Secretary so that this can be green again. This green is not a responsibility. In Senayan, the GBK Complex, is it good or not? Good, please," said Erick at the Ministry of SOEs, Wednesday, October 19.

For information, the Monas design was last changed by former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to carry out the revitalization of Monas. The Monas revitalization project, which began in early 2020, had caused a polemic.

This is because the DKI Provincial Government has cut down about 190 trees for the construction of the southern side of the plaza in the Monas area. This had angered the DKI Jakarta DPRD.

The revitalization of Monas was stopped for some time. Until finally, the revitalization was resumed with the DKI Provincial Government's record that it had to replant trees with a minimum number of three times that of being cut down.
