Is It True that Many Disagree with the Capital of Indonesia Moving to Kalimantan? Let's See Why!!!
The decision to shift Indonesia's capital from Jakarta to Kalimantan has proven that not everyone in society is entirely indifferent to the idea. There are those on the supporting side; and the reasons why they support it may include, first of all, the congestion and traffic jams that have now come to characterize Jakarta as well as environmental issues such as land flooding and subsidence. Through shifting the central capital, supporters believe that it would deconcentrate the development of the nation and spark growth in other regions, too - particularly in resource-rich Kalimantan.
Nevertheless, many are in opposition to this. Critics say that building a new capital will be too expensive and is out of place with the Indonesian current financial problems. They also raise concerns over potential environmental damage due to setting up a large city in Kalimantan, an island that is famous for its rainforests and biodiversity. Some are worried it would affect the lives of its inhabitants including indigenous communities. Some scientists also worry the move would cause an uptick in deforestation.
Yet, the government remains committed to the project, determining how such a plan will set up a city that is more sustainable and resilient against disastrous acts of nature that could serve as a model in future urban development. Still debated, the indisputable fact is that relocation of the capital is one of the most ambitious projects reshaping Indonesia's future for better or worse.
