Jakarta Governor, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama asserted that he does not mean to boycott Asian Games 2018 event. He is just canceling athletes house guest construction by PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro). As Kemayoran will still be commercial area .

I don't mean to boycott it. What I'm saying is don't build the house guest

"I don't mean to boycott it. What I'm saying is don't build the house guest," he expressed at City Hall, Monday (12/7).

"Everything is on going . Just check it out on the field," he asserted.

If Kemayoran will still be commercial area, then Basuki will not assign PT Jakpro to construct it. As it is feared the company will suffer loss.

"As a commercial, I've told to Jakpro that we can't re-purchase. If they as a flat, they have President Decree, then City re-purchases as a flat. It's for Jakpro not to suffer a loss," he explained.

Basuki will hand over whole of it to Kemayoran Complex Management Center (PPK) if it will still be used as commercial area.

"If Kemayoran PPK is great, we give up. Just offer a company to construct it there. It has the same function anyway," he disclosed.
