Of the 110 islands, 11 of them are residential, 39 empty islands, cultural heritage and tens of resort island, that must be re-arranged without destroying environment.

“Seribu Islands is getting the attention of the world, thus this city needs to be re-arranged, especially in the cleanliness,” he asserted.
