beneficiaries through City Council Commission A; PT. Pelindo and Jakarta
government will provide more attention to the victims of the clash; the
city government will shoulder all medical cost for the victims; the
beneficiary and Pelindo will hold another discussion at the National
Human Rights Commission scheduled on Friday (5/16).
Responding to this agreement, the beneficiary Habib Alwi Al Haddad said
he was satisfied, and hoped PT Pelindo would not deny the agreement read
by the vice governor. "On overall, I am satisfied with the results of
this meeting," said Habib Alwi al-Haddad.
In the meantime, President Director of PT Pelindo II, RJ Lino, pledged
to comply with the meeting results. "Part of the agreement is the
renovation on the pavilion, and construction of underground tunnel as
well as a parking lot on Jl Jampea. We will also build a fence around
