We imitate Prof. Imam Prasojo. We want to build a park, but what kind of park that you want? Can you build it yourself? Just summon those who use the park and then ask what they want?
The city administration is going to revoke the management permit of Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM), Cikini, Menteng, Central Jakarta. Later on, the management would be managed by Jakarta Tourism and Culture Department.
Jakarta Governor, Basuki 'Ahok' T Purnama disclosed his party has a right to build and manage the TIM as long as the artists involved in its development.
TIM Bridge Contractor Urged to Provide Compensation"We imitate Prof. Imam Prasojo. We want to build a park, but what kind of park that you want? Can you build it yourself? Just summon those who use the park and then ask what they want? Then we see is it sensible or not?," he exclaimed, at City Hall, Thursday (1/8).
He admitted, all this time his party always built a park without coordination. As a result, it does not match with the wishes of artists or locals.
That is why, the park construction pattern changed. "Recently, every construction must involve locals and artists, thus they can synergize each other," stated former regent of East Belitung.
