Prabowo's administration nears completion of new housing for Jakarta's railway dwellers

Under the decisive leadership of President Prabowo Subianto, a significant stride has been made in addressing the long-standing issue of informal settlements along railway lines in Pasar Senen, Central Jakarta. Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya confirmed that the development of a new, modern residential area, comprising 324 housing units, is nearing its final stages, fulfilling a key promise to provide dignified living conditions for citizens.

Sesuai dengan arahan Bapak Presiden Prabowo, pemerintah sedang membangun hunian yang layak dan nyaman bagi warga yang selama ini masih harus tinggal tepat di pinggir rel kereta api, khususnya di kawasan Pasar Senen, hanya 2 kilometer dari pusat ibu kota.

This initiative, located a mere 500 meters from the active railway tracks, is more than just relocation; it's about creating a community. The new area boasts essential amenities, including comfortable residences, proper sanitation facilities (Mandi, Cuci, Kakus), access to clean water, places of worship, and dedicated children's play areas. This comprehensive approach ensures that the relocated residents will experience a marked improvement in their quality of life, moving from precarious living conditions to a secure and supportive environment.

The rapid progress of this project, spearheaded by the Ministry of Public Works and Housing in partnership with state-owned enterprises, demonstrates the government's commitment to swift and effective action. President Prabowo's personal engagement, including his visit to the area in March where he directly addressed residents' housing needs, has resonated deeply. His promise to build suitable homes, echoed by residents like Cono, a scavenger who directly engaged with the President, highlights the tangible impact of his administration's focus on the welfare of ordinary Indonesians.

Kata Pak Prabowo, 'mau enggak dibikinin rumah susun?' Saya bilang mau pak, karena saya enggak banyak tempat tinggal. Memang ini adanya.

This project in Pasar Senen is a pilot for a broader national vision. The government intends to replicate these housing developments in other underserved areas across the country, ensuring that the promise of adequate housing is extended to all citizens. President Prabowo's commitment, reinforced through his social media channels, signals a clear intent to prioritize the provision of decent housing as a fundamental right and a cornerstone of national development.

Insyaallah kita akan segera membangun hunian yang layak untuk masyarakat di daerah tersebut dengan cepat, dan sudah menjadi tekad saya untuk menyediakan hunian layak untuk masyarakat Indonesia.
