Jakarta, NU Online
The Jakarta city government expressed regret and concern over the outbreak of physical clashes between residents and public order security guards at the Mbah Priok tomb in Koja, North Jakarta, on Wednesday.
"We apologize for the incident. We have stopped (mobilizing public order officers). We have to explain to the people that we are not going to demolish the tomb but illegal buildings," Deputy Governor Prijanto said here on Wednesday evening.r />
He said the Jakarta city government would not demolish the tomb of a public figure named Al Arif Billah Hasan bin Muhammad Al Hadda or popularly known as "Mbah Priok."
The deputy governor said that actually the body of Mbah Priok had already been moved to the Semper Public Cemetery at the request of his heirs.
Priyanto said public order officers would only demolish illegal buildings erected around the tomb complex such as the 5-meter high gateway, walls and a number of illegal buildings erected to serve visitors to the tomb.
The deputy governor said that the owner of the land, port company PT Pelindo II, had provided compensation money amounting to Rp2.5 billion and a land of 5,000 sq m for Mbah Priok's heirs.
He said the money and the land had not been provided as compensation because in strict legal terms the land on which the tomb stood belonged to Pelindo, not to Mbah Priok's heirs.
The heirs had land with a document but the land was not located at the site, he said as quoted by Antara.
Mbah Priok's heirs claimed that they possessed land around the location up to 5.4 square hectares with an ownership document in the form of "Eigendom Verponding" No.4341 and No.1780.
One Mbah Priok's heirs, named Habib Muhammad bin Achmad had filed a lawsuit at the North Jakarta Court but the court on June 5, 2001 ruled that the lawsuit could not be accepted because the lawsuit was not clear.
Habib Muhammad bin Achmad's side did not appeal the North Jakarta court verdict so that legally the land belonged to PT Pelindo II based on a land management right document No. 01/Koja which covers a land of 1,452,270 sq m. (dar)
