Jakarta: Lippo Group has pledged to resolve the problems surrounding the long-stalled Meikarta project within four months, according to the Public Housing and Settlements Ministry.
The ministry’s residential areas director-general, Fitrah Nur, said last Wednesday that he had called Lippo Group chairman John Riady and had been assured that the conglomerate vowed to resolve the issue. “I called John in yesterday,” said Fitrah. “He assured me, ‘Okay, sir, we’re ready to resolve this’.”
