PT. Integrasi Transit Jakarta (PT ITJ), as the manager of Martha Christina Tiahahu Literacy Park in Blok M, South Jakarta, confirmed that it has no affiliation with any institution or organization in managing park's operation.

"Martha Christina Tiahahu Literacy Park is a public space,"

It was conveyed by PT ITJ VP Corporate Secretary, Legal & Strategy, Teuku Firmansyah after a report on a certain party who acted on behalf of the park manager in granting permission for activities or events in the area.

"Martha Christina Tiahahu Literacy Park is a public space directly managed by PT ITJ. We are not affiliated with any party," he emphasized in written statement on Monday (1/13).

He reminded people who receive similar information to report it to PT ITJ's official channels, through email corsec@itj-mrtjakarta.co.id with format of name, chronology of events (day, date, location, and explanation), photo or video documentation related to the incident/perpetrator.

People can also report directly to the uniformed security officers with ID card in the park area. This measure is taken for the comfort and safety in the public space.

"PT ITJ also appreciated the support of the community in maintaining function of Martha Christina Tiahahu Literacy Park as a safe and comfort public space," he said.

He also conveyed that PT ITJ is very open to anyone who wants to collaborate with Martha Christina Tiahahu Literacy Park, for individual, community, academic, non-profit organization, CSR, event activation, and media coverage.

"You can send a letter and event proposal through PT ITJ's official channels, such as email corsec@itj-mrtjakarta.co.id or social media @tamanliterasi.jkt and @integrasitransit.jkt," he added.

On the other hand, Jakarta Satpol PP Head, Satriadi Gunawan emphasized that community organizations (ormas) do not have the authority to regulate the permission of activities in Martha Christina Tiahahu Literacy Park, South Jakarta.

"There is no regulation to get permission from any of the mass organizations. If you want to hold an event within a long period of time, you can directly ask for permission to the manager or Jakarta PMPTSP Agency. For the case that went viral the other day, it leads to thuggery," he asserted.

He also urged the public not to be influenced or agree to requests from parties who act on behalf of the park manager.

"Report immediately to the manager, in this case PT ITJ, or security officers on guard in the park area," he mentioned.

Satriadi also added that Satpol PP personnel have been assigned to Martha Christina Tiahahu Literacy Park to anticipate and prevent thuggery practices that are harmful to the public.

"We assign personnel to maintain security in the park. People who want to create content or do activities are welcome, as long as they follow the rules. If you need permission, go directly to the manager or uniformed officers with ID card," he closed.
