Feeling Defamed, Head Of RT In Pluit Will Report Owner Of Ruko Pencaplok Bahut Jalan And Water Channels

JAKARTA - Head of RT 011/03 Pluit Riang Prasetya plans to report one of the shophouse owners affected by the demolition, namely Iman on suspicion of defamation, accusing residents of taking Rp53 million.

"Definitely.. definitely (Police Report-ed) to Pak Iman. Just be patient, calm down. Anyway, share it in front of the press," said Riang when confirmed by VOI, Tuesday, May 30.

Riang admitted that he did not accept it, and denied Iman's accusation that he had taken Rp53 million from residents. According to him, it is clear that all financial reports from the public have been reported to all residents and Pak Iman.

"The receipt reports, and I have divided all of them to all residents, both those who donate and do not donate," he said.

Riang explained about the Rp53 million in cash from the collective population. Riang said, starting with shophouses that violate the rules such as parking lots, construction of closing waterways and road shoulders.

"Violation. Closing the water channel, first parking, secondly the water channel, thirdly eating the shoulder of the road from 2019 to 2022," he said.

The shophouse, Riang continued, tried to stop himself by bribing some money, which at that time Riang did not know. Because, I'm Riang, he refused the money. Riang's refusal to accept bribes finally made the shophouse repair the road.

"Sudah upaya suap 3 kali, tapi tidak masuk. Saya tidak lihat isinya, yang pasti amplikasi cahaya besar. Jadi karena keras, mereka mulai memperbaiki (jalan)," tuturnya.

Then Pak Iman coordinated with Riang regarding the costs incurred for road construction at Ruko Z Utara and Z Selatan, the total was IDR 390 million.

"The Rp390 million was issued to repair the road. The Rp390 million was not through me, but through his contractor, right," he said.

After the construction of the road has been completed for Block Z Selatan and the Jalank Block Z Utara, Riang proposes to build roads in Block Z3 Timur and Block Z5 Timur. However, Iman refused, because it was not part of the area.

"I took the initiative to continue (improvement of the East Z3 Block and East Z5 Block. Well, Pak this faith doesn't want to go out of money. It's big in my opinion. How come the North Z and South Z Blocks, East Z3 (and) East Z5 are not repaired? I said the contractor, "if Mr. Iman doesn't want to go out of money, I'm personal money with the residents," he joked.

Finally, Riang took the initiative to collect funds from residents to jointly repair roads.

"Well, I ask for the help of the residents, I report it to Pak Iman. I ask for funds from all residents, get 53 million. This is the receipt report, and I have divided it all to all residents who donate or do not consider it," he continued.

It turned out that in the process, the costs incurred exceeded the residents' donations. Thus, Riang decided to spend his personal money, to continue the construction.

Suddenly, Riang said, over time and control was carried out, Iman or shophouse accused Riang of taking the residents' money. Then, he admitted to spending Rp. 390 million for road construction.

"Suddenly, Mr. Invites the DPRD, DPRI and the residents of Mr. Koar-coar I came out with 390 million. Well, at the beginning the administrators didn't want to be named, but now the control of Mr. Koar is so big. Don't be ridiculous sir. I will take legal action against you, "he said.
