Hotel Indonesia roundabout with its Welcome Statue and fountain is the icon of Jakarta. Unluckily, the place is often to be used as demonstrations for several groups because the place is very strategic.
The development of Hotel Indonesia roundabout was aimed to welcome Asian Games IV contingent in 1962 and made as interesting tourism place not only local but also foreign people. That is why the Jakarta City Administration will re-function the location to beautify the city as the capital city. Any of demonstrations, protest, or show with or without stage in Hotel Indonesia roundabout is forbidden.
Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo said the citizen should not hold any demonstrations or protest act in Hotel Indonesia roundabout. The city administration is preventing the location surrounding from damage and dirty after demonstrations act.
In order to maintain the city asset, Bowo instructed to demolish tent and stage built in launching the air quality monitoring station on Sunday (11/29). “I instruct the committee to demolish the stage because Hotel Indonesia roundabout is not place for party,” Bowo added.
Similar restriction should be also given to citizens who will hold demonstration there. Hotel Indonesia roundabout is not private place but public area which is built for society welfare. Bowo added since Sunday (11/29) Hotel Indonesia roundabout is forbidden for private-excessive which harming the public. City administration will support if the location is used as sport center or car free day program.
Meanwhile, Jakarta Vice Governor Prijanto stated the only way to make the area clean, the society must obey the city administration regulation in form of act and bylaw, or another. The regulation has managed the society well, but why sometimes the societies are ignoring the regulation much.
“Please use another location for holding the action, not Hotel Indonesia roundabout,” Prijanto stated.
