JAKARTA - Member of the PKS faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD M. Taufik Zoelkifli rejected the proposal to form a special committee (pansus) for the DKI DPRD to investigate the problems of the construction of the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS).
According to Taufik, the special committee does not need to be formed just because of the emergence of Buro Happold's clarification, a British design service company, engineering and consulting, which said it did not design JIS.
"What was said was that Buro Happold wrote and then said he was not involved in the design. In my opinion, the storyline is clear about the planning and construction of JIS. So, if for example you want a special committee, what else do you want to do? What else do you want to ask?" said Taufik, Tuesday, July 11.
In JIS development planning, Buro Happold only provides design guidelines. However, the JIS design that has now been built does not fully follow the guidelines. According to Taufik, this is not a problem.
"It was clear from the start, what builds, designs JIS, Indonesian sons and daughters themselves, not Buro Happold. Buro Happold is a consultant. What is consulted about how JIS becomes social inclusive, how people are involved in this international stadium, more in its business," he explained.
Previously, Buro Happold clarified the role and contribution of the company in the JIS project. Buro Happold emphasized that his party was not asked to design the JIS stadium and never designed this stadium. Furthermore, the company is also not involved in any construction work that is carried out later.
"Jakarta Konsultindo (Jakkon) asked Buro Happold to make design guidelines (design guidelines) and provide consulting services, from December 2018 to March 2019," wrote Buro Happold's statement.
The scope of work includes preparation for the creation of a design guide (preparation of concept design guide), assessment for technical and commercial issues (technical and commercial assessment), concept of master plan for areas around the stadium (concept master plan for the surrounding area), as well as roadmap implementation of the project (implementation roadmap).
"During the time of making the guidelines, the company ensures that all aspects related to FIFA standards are met," he said.

Furthermore, after the series of jobs above was completed, Buro Happold was asked to review the design concept prepared by other parties, which in this case was the consultant appointed by Jakkon.
"The company's results of the review identified several aspects that did not match the original design concept guide from Buro Happold. These findings have been submitted by Buro Happold in a separate letter," he explained.
Responding to this, the Secretary of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Dwi Rio Sambodo, considered that the construction of JIS proved problematic after the clarification from Buro Happold emerged.
"This confirms that there is malpractice in the planning and construction of the JIS stadium. It is not surprising that there is a lot of shortage of JIS satdion facilities and is far from the international standard as it should be," Rio said in a short message, Monday, July 10.
"It must form a Special Committee for JIS if deemed necessary, especially since this has used a lot of people's money, around Rp. 4.4 trillion from PEN funds and the DKI Regional Budget," he said.
