"Dream - The managers of Warteg (Warung Tegal) protest the government's decision not to allow their businesses to operate around the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) project in East Kalimantan due to cleanliness reasons. The Chairman of the Nusantara Warteg Cooperative (Kowantara), Mukroni, disagrees with Basuki's statement. According to him, Warteg business operators are now aware of the importance of cleanliness aspects. The impression of Warteg being dirty and shabby is considered outdated."

"The warteg entrepreneurs now prioritize cleanliness, the dishes are also hygienic, sir. So, don't associate warteg with a dirty or shabby impression anymore."

"Previously, Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Basuki Hadimuljono prohibited the presence of warteg around the projects in IKN. He also did not allow the construction of makeshift shelters that are often used as resting places for project workers in IKN."

"Everyone will move into the flats, worker housing, so everything will be orderly. Thus, there will be no more makeshift shelters, no more slums like food stalls, God willing. It's not that we are prohibiting or ignoring, but everything is for hygiene, entering into housing with better communal kitchens," said Basuki as quoted by Liputan6.com."

"As a substitute for the absence of warteg in IKN, food for project workers will be cooked from a communal kitchen. Meanwhile, for the workers' accommodation, a boarding house (rusun) will be prepared."
