The Jakarta administration is shifting gear in its efforts to mitigate the capital’s perpetual flooding problem.

Efforts include the relocation of squatters from riverbanks and embankment areas as part of the city’s massive dredging project.

In a meeting with five mayors, 26 district and 75 subdistrict administration heads, Governor Joko “Jokowi” Widodo on Wednesday asked for assessments of each area, as well as requiring his subordinates to point out the challenges involved in relocating the squatters.

“We have to work fast. I call on all the authorities to use a softly-softly approach when relocating citizens [from riverbanks and embankment areas],” Jokowi said during the meeting at City Hall.

“We should do it nicely: using dialogue to explain to them that living on the riverbanks is a violation of the bylaws, and so on.”

The governor added that he would lend a hand to his subordinates if the suggestive approach did not work.

“If it becomes too burdensome, let me know. If I have to see it to myself, I’ll go,” he said.

“We need to start disseminating information about the relocation so we can start moving them in April or May. We have lots of things to prepare,” he added.

The urge to work fast was supported by the subordinates, who agreed that it was high time to carry out the plan.

“This is the perfect moment to start informing the residents affected by the floods about the relocation,” East Jakarta mayor HR Krisdianto said.

“They are traumatized by the floods so it is likely that they will easily accept the idea of relocating.”

He added that “we can start disseminating the plan as early as February.”

Jokowi has announced the administration’s plan to normalize 13 rivers running through the city, as well as dredging all dams and lakes in the capital after most areas of the capital were inundated by floodwaters last week.

This year, the administration will focus on the first four rivers: Ciliwung, Pesanggrahan, Angke and Sunter.

Tens of thousands of squatters are currently living along the riverbanks and nearby embankments illegally, causing a narrowing of the rivers and sedimentation due to careless lifestyles.

Jokowi cited the 80-hectare Pluit Dam in North Jakarta as an example, where at least 11,000 squatters have settled.

The depth of the dam — the biggest dam in Jakarta — is now only 3 meters, down from its initial depth of 10 meters.

Earlier this week Deputy Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama visited squatters from Pluit Dam in their temporary shelters, persuading them to relocate to the Marunda affordable apartments that could accommodate 400 families.

He promised that the squatters would not have to bring anything as the units were all fully furbished.

Jakarta Public Works Agency deputy head Novrizal said during the meeting that 31 families were ready to relocate to the apartments.

Jakarta’s recent flooding has caused an estimated Rp 20 trillion (US$2 billion) in losses, according to Jokowi.

Indonesian saw a record high level of investment realization in 2012

Indonesian saw a record high level of investment realization in 2012, thanks to a 22. 4 percent start foreign direct investment (FDI) in the fourth one fourth, as the consumer-driven nation attracted overseas investors amid the particular economic troubles of the West.

Through January-December last year, Indonesia realized total investments regarding Rp 313. 2 trillion (US$32. a few billion), surpassing its annual target regarding Rp 283. 5 trillion, the Investment Coordinating Table (BKPM) reported on Tuesday.

FDI, which usually accounts for 70 percent of total investments, surged twenty-two. 4 percent in the fourth quarter, together with full-year FDI increasing by 26 percent to the unprecedented amount of Rp 221 trillion.

Offshore investors noticed their investments mostly in the mining sector (17. a few percent of total FDI realization), followed by the vehicles and telecommunication sectors (11. 4 percent) and the pharmaceutical drug sector (11. 3 percent).

Among additional emerging nations, Indonesia had become the major destination for foreign investors due to its stable economic progress, BKPM chairman M. Chatib Basri said in the rationale behind the achievement.

Investors specifically noticed the fact that Indonesia’s economic expansion of over 6th percent occurred during a slowdown in China, The indian subcontinent, Brazil and Argentina, he discussed.

“We are optimistic that this trend may continue, ” the BKPM chairman told a press agglomération on Tuesday, predicting that the country can meet its yearly investment target regarding Rp 390 trillion in 2013.

Inside a recent interview with The Jakarta Post, Chatib said that Indonesia still had at least Rp 376 trillion inside the pipeline that could be realized within a three-year period of time. That would help BKPM to meet its yearly purchase target in 2013, he said.

Inside the press briefing, Chatib argued that concerns about the recent floods or minimum-wage increases were unlikely to move down Indonesian investment growth this year. “We certainly are a different case compared to Thailand, whose floods struck the production hub of its sectors. ”

On the minimum-wage issue, he or she explained that it would have little impact since labor-intensive sectors only accounted for 9 percent of the workforce in Dalam negri.

In 2012, total investment realization worked with 307, 960 additional jobs.

Dalam negri has been on the radar of overseas investors since January 2011, when Fitch Ratings upgraded the country’s sovereign credit ranking to investment grade. A similar upgrade has been done by Moody’s Investors Service a month afterwards.

The only member of the unsuspecting “Big Three” rating agencies that is yet to achieve the country investment-grade status is Standard as well as Poor’s, which has argued that Indonesia still confronts “policy constraints”, especially in infrastructure improvement. (sat)
