Reclaimed islets would be into nightlife spots


JAKARTA. The team of Jakarta governor-elect Anies Baswedan and Sandiaga Uno has proposed turning reclaimed islets in Jakarta Bay, North Jakarta, into nightlife centers.

“We suggest that the reclaimed islets be turned into Jakarta nightlife entertainment centers, like those in Dubai, Singapore and Pattaya [Thailand],” the tourism and culture working unit of Anies and Sandiaga’s team, Henry, said as quoted by kompas.com on Monday (3/7). 

Henry said that Anies and Sandiaga’s administration could take an example from other countries to establish nightclubs in a designated area far from residential areas. 

Meanwhile, Sandiaga said the team previously suggested establishing sports facilities on the islets. 

He said all the suggestions would be considered while prioritizing an environment review concerning the reclamation projects.  

Jakarta Spatial Planning Agency head Gamal Sinurat previously said that Anies and Sandiaga’s team had included a suggestion to audit the reclamation projects in the draft of the 2018 city working plan (RKPD).

The plan is in line with their program to halt the reclamation projects, Gamal said. (cal/dmr)
