Jakarta Governor Basuki 'Ahok' T. Purnama will not get influenced with the condition of Kampung Pulo, East Jakarta. The control of illegal building must be done fully without giving compensation money since the building is standing on state's land.

If I accepted their request, other illegal building owners will ask the same thing

"I don't have the budget for that. If I accepted their request, other illegal building owners will ask the same thing," Basuki said, Thursday (8/20).

According to him, the city administration already knew the impact of the illegal building demolishment. "I don't care if they burned the heavy equipment. I'll send more," he added.

The governor also asked help from City Police to guard the Kampung Pulo area. "I told the city police chief to guard Kampung Pulo. No other options. I want an order Jakarta," he continued.

The city police has deployed 2 Sabhara rapid response units (SSK), 2 SSK Dalmas, and 1 Mobile Brigade in total of 500 personnel.
