YOGYAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan revealed why the government used the services of foreign or Caucasian foremans in the IKN Project. For Coordinating Minister Luhut, the government was forced to use foreign foreman to supervise the quality of IKN projects. What do you think is the reason Luhut hired foreign foreman?

"The quality of the job is the key. Therefore, I have reported the President, our supervisors are forced, with all due respect, we use Caucasians to maintain quality. So don't let the Presidential Palace become a quality but it's not good," said Luhut in a working meeting with Banggar DPR RI, quoted on Monday (12/6/2023).

The leadership of the IKN Investment Acceleration Task Force continues, the group already has development plans, incentive schemes and business models, to land status that will be offered to investors.

Luhut also continues to protect closeness to countries that are already committed to investment in IKN, from the UAE, China, to parts of the middle east.

"I've gone there twice, seen this (IKN) and yesterday in Singapore we also sold about this and they are very enthusiastic about going in. And we hope, not hoping, must, August 17 next year we can have an event there," he said.

After that, said Luhut, land prices must also be identified quickly. Thus, an estimated price is needed to calculate the land in IKN.

"Every 6 months the price of land will change because the infrastructure built is growing so they have to adjust to it," he said.

The former Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs also confirmed that the IKN project is in great demand by foreign investors. For example, a large developer in Shenzen Cina who will be included in the IKN project.

Not only that, Singapore investors are also interested in building and advancing the new capital city in East Kalimantan.
