The hearing was held on Monday in the PDIP fax room, the parliamentary complex, Senayan, Jakarta (9/29/2025).

According to him, both permission and Amdal are unclear. “According to what has been reported to us, the consent issue is unclear, then the Amdal is unclear. If there is indeed no AMD, we must seal it, we must close it. Not to recall the permit because if there is no Amdal, the permit does not come out,” Donny said. Meanwhile, Raja said the problems raised by the public associated with alleged land grabs and environmental damage should be a serious concern. According to him, the source of the existence of the community affected this. “They were uprooted from the source of existence. There were mothers I met directly, their bodies were crushed. Their motivation was not to be rich, but to live on the country they had had for generations,” said Bane. On the same occasion, Chairman of Lammoras Sihaporas, Miangua Ambarita, claimed that his citizens have repeatedly confronted the officials and companies since 2003. In fact, his party has occupied the area for hundreds of years. “We have been there for hundreds of years. Why are they again given to TPL? Do you want the country to have a fair attitude. We will continue to fight because it is our country,” he said. Donny also said PDIP will follow up the pursuit. He said the controversy is a cross -sector problem. “It is indeed a cross -sectoral problem, and it has been incurred once today, it is our duty to fight for,” Donny said. Bane said PDIP was strongly opposed to all environmental destruction activities. He said it was in line with the direction of PDIP ketum megawati searcharnoputri. “The PDIP faction is assigned to receive public complaints every day. Whether we are from anywhere is to hear and follow politically. So don’t hesitate, we will keep fighting for the complaints of all the ladies and gentlemen in the DPR,” he said. (AMW/MAA)
