"The land owner, namely the Kemayoran area manager under the State Secretariat, also secures assets," he explained.
He added the administration was also preparing an open dialogue with fire survivors regarding relocation to nearby flats.
"We offer several spots but residents tend to want those close to the original location. We have the Wisma Atlet Flats at Danau Sunter, which are being renovated. If they are interested and the renovation process is complete, this can also address the problem of dense settlements and slums in Kemayoran," he uttered.
