Hi, I am Arveno from Surabaya city. In this content i want to share about what happened in my housing area. Across the water way they are already made new housing area that very large and clear the mangrove out and change to house. But, i think it still will be okay if the water way still large and the waterway still smooth. But, lately there is new Developer that want to build new housing area too that different with the developer where the house that i want to buy. And this Developer is kinda tricky and corrupt. And also too selfish and dont want to hear people out there, it really looks a like with the goverment right now.
If you can see from the picture above, the water way already stucked by the pile of soil. I dont know why this developer doing it. They are on purpose to make flood or else.
And many my neighbor posted and shared to Local Social Services and want to directed to National Water Treatment Agency since this act is break the rules about the waterway.
After several times local officials having conversation with person in charge for developer. And talk about this waterway rules. The developer team still insisting to continue its construction. And this is like battle inside this housing area. The developer wants to claim the waterway plus the road inside the house area to be main road to entry the heavy truck to loading material for construction whereas those road mostly used for people from my neighborhood to do morning walk or even the kids playing there. And it will be no save at all. Also the material construction will bring debris and dust and it will poluting the air in this area. Not to mention that many workers burn rubbish carelessly and it will be ever poluting. And also the trash will pile up too during construction.
I dont know why they are insisting to build a bridge there. Actually they can open access from other side no need to made this bridge. But, yeah i still dont know about the politics between the developer. I think there is huge money involved here. Not only just the developer but also those land property, road, goverment, and many more get those corruption money. Since although many people rejects the bridge construction, the construction itself still continue and not stop at all.
At first i already said to people on the group since i was seen this happened before. If this continue and going up to the mayor, it will make the developer easier to cast away the people vote with money. At that time i got rejected and hated because i said its better if fighting those people with private legal entity. But, the people said that need to tell directly to mayor since it will be the job of mayor. After that of course i am just silent and watching and reading the news only never said a word at all. Since if my instalment of my new house got accepted, i will move out anyway.
And in the end for the update the battle still continue and after the goverment intervene. Of course it is like what i said, the people power got lost with just a bunch of paper that signed from higher official goverment and with developer. And yes of course those developer already paid the goverment. It is like easy money from goverment. And people still fighting without any ammo and yeah i will said that they are just like dog barking, never affect to both goverment and developer. The construction will continue and eventually all people will silence because they are tired waiting goverment to move. This pattern is mostly same everytime when dealing with goverment and high class player like big developer. But, for me i am hoping that those people healthy and still aware of flood in every rainy season since my house rent place is the lowest between the new housing area and this place is nearest from the mangrove area that need to be water infiltration and with the new building the water infiltration will be gone and lets see what will happened after the heavy rain comes.
