"According to the plan, we will build multi-concept apartments. Thus, the relocated fishermen will have many options for apartments where they can reside," Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok stated here, Friday.
The concepts will include thematic apartments similar to those in Muara Angke and Cakung Green as well as apartments on Thousand Islands equipped with facilities for aquaculture.
"With the implementation of this plan, the fishermen will not lose their jobs. Later, they just need to select their choice of concept apartments," he stated.
In future, the number of apartments for fishermen will be increased as the coastal area reclamation work will be expanded, so they will have several dwelling options, he stated.
"Indeed, we have intentionally built many apartments for fishermen with several options as we plan to expand the coastal area reclamation work and at the same time reorganize it," he explained.
The Jakarta administration will buy Nusa Kiranas land measuring 300 hectares for super blocks.
"We will try to bargain whether we can buy a plot of land owned by Nusa Kirana. If we can, we will build super blocks for workers in the Port of Jakarta," the governor added.(*)
