New Chapter in the Sultan Hotel Dispute: GBK Management Sends Summons to Employees and Demands Rp600 Billion from Pontjo Sutowo

"Dream - Legal Power of the Gelora Bung Karno Complex Management Center (PPK-GBK), Saor Siagian, sent a summons to the employees of PT Indobuildco who insisted on continuing to work at the Sultan Hotel, Jakarta. He issued the summons because he believed that the Pontjo Sutowo company no longer had permission to manage the Sultan Hotel."

The operational permit of Hotel Sultan has been frozen since October 4, 2023. The decision stipulates that there should no longer be any activities on the former HGB 26/Gelora and HGB 27/Gelora lands, which have become state assets.

"Once again, I urge, and at the same time issue an open warning to the employees at Indobuildco, the location of Hotel Sultan."

The following 'Bahasa' text in English while preserving any html tags is: "the word Saor quoted from Merdeka.com, Wednesday, 1 November 2023."

Not only the employees, but he also warned Pontjo Sutowo that he could be imprisoned again if he insists on controlling Hotel Sultan. Saor explained that this rule is stated in the Criminal Code (KUHP) Article 385, anyone who rents out land that is not theirs is threatened with a 7-year prison sentence.

"But what happened was he didn't care whether he had the right or not. In fact, he used a shield, the shield is his employee."

The translation of the text "kata Saor" from Bahasa to English while preserving any HTML tags is "word Saor."

On the contrary, PT Indobuildco has filed a compensation claim against PPKGBK amounting to Rp28 trillion for the dispute over the ownership of Hotel Sultan's land. However, PPKGBK also demands Indobuildco to repay royalty debts amounting to Rp600 billion.

The translation of the given Bahasa text to English while preserving any HTML tags is as follows:

Hasil perhitungan Badan Pengawasan Keuangan dan Pembangunan (BPKP), Pontjo Sutowo and his company have not paid royalties for the past 16 years. "The royalties from 2007-2023, how much is the total, around Rp 600 billion. That calculation is not from PPKGBK itself, but there is independence from the state auditor, namely BPKP," said the CEO of PPKGBK, Rakhmadi A Kusumo, at the PPKGBK office.

Rakhmadi expressed that the number came out after BPKP compared calculations of activities in hotels around the Senayan area, such as Hotel Mulia and Fairmont Hotel. "Will PPKGBK collect payment? Of course, we will collect according to legal procedures," said Rakhmadi.

"On the other hand, he expressed his astonishment at the Rp28 trillion lawsuit filed by Indobuildco. Moreover, the land and assets in the Sultan Hotel area are now officially owned by the state through PPKGBK. "As the Finance Minister stated, how can state assets work better to generate better results for the country? If he wants to demand such a large amount from the country, it doesn't seem appropriate," he said. "What actually happened is the opposite. In fact, it is the state that has been disadvantaged since the Sultan Hotel has been in use for almost 50 years," he said."
