Mystery Unraveled: Issuance of Sea Wall Certificates Due to Forgery and Suspected Insider Job
In a shocking revelation, it has come to light that Certificates of Right to Build (SHGB) and Certificates of Ownership (SHM) for sea walls have been issued since 2023 by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning (ATR).
Unveiling the Truth
Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning (ATR)/Head of the National Land Agency (BPN), Nusron Wahid, confirmed the existence of SHGB and SHM certificates issued for the sea wall area in Tangerang.
According to findings from the public accessed through the BHUMI ATR/BPN application and shared on social media, there have been numerous certificates circulating in the sea wall area, as stated by Nusron during a press release on Monday (1/20/2025).
He revealed that a total of 263 plots in the form of SHGB have been issued, with 234 under the name of PT Intan Agung Makmur, 20 under PT Cahaya Inti Sentosa, and 9 under individual names. Additionally, there were 17 SHM certificates issued in the Tangerang sea wall area.
Forgery Uncovered
Nusron Wahid highlighted a distinction between the sea wall cases in Tangerang, Banten, and Bekasi, West Java. He mentioned that the sea wall cases in Tangerang involved SHGB and SHM certificates with procedural and material defects.
Upon data verification, it was discovered that some of the 266 SHGB and SHM certificates were situated outside the coastline, essentially above the sea. This revelation led to a reassessment of these certificates, as stated by Nusron while addressing reporters in Tanjung Pasir Village, Tangerang, Banten, on Wednesday (1/22/2025).
The presence of areas beyond the coastline rendered certain lands uncertifiable and ineligible for private ownership. Nusron emphasized the ineligibility of these areas for certification, deeming certificates for lands beyond the coastline as procedurally and materially flawed.
As the investigation unfolds, more details are expected to surface regarding the suspicious issuance of these certificates and the implications it holds for land ownership and legal boundaries.
Stay Informed, Stay Alert
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and transparency in land certificate issuance and verification processes. It underscores the need for robust monitoring mechanisms to prevent fraudulent activities and safeguard the integrity of property rights.
As citizens, it is crucial to stay informed about land-related developments and be proactive in reporting any irregularities or discrepancies in land documentation. By remaining vigilant and engaged, we can contribute to upholding the rule of law and ensuring fair and equitable land ownership practices for all.
