Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) began considering reviving the sports complex megaproject Hambalang which was stalled for years.
The Minister of Youth and Sports, Zainudin Amali, said that later Hambalang would be transformed by the government into a ‘paradise’ for senior and talented athletes. This plan is already on the big agenda of the National Sports Design.
“We will consider seeing Hambalang as a center for senior athletes and our athletes who are ready to compete,” Zainudin said in a press statement, Monday (15/3/2021).
Zainudin emphasized that Hambalang is not the only project that the government will accelerate. “We will create 10 training centers in several areas, and the most basic is talent in elementary school,” he said.
The news that the government will revive Hambalang has indeed been detected for a long time. Jokowi, in 2016, visited the Hambalang project in Bogor, West Java.
At that time, Jokowi asked the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) to examine the possibility of continuing the project. At least, there are two special directions for Jokowi regarding the Hambalang project.
First, the head of state ordered the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) to audit the project as a whole. Second, related to technical audits covering the feasibility of the project in a structured manner.
