akarta Governor Anies Baswedan has emphasized that his administration will continue the construction of the BMW Stadium in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, despite a recent ruling over a land dispute at the location.

The North Jakarta State Administrative Court has ruled in favor of developer PT Buana Permata Hijau’s (BPH) lawsuit against the North Jakarta National Land Agency (BPN) over the 6.9 hectares of land under separate certificates used for the BMW Stadium.

The verdict annulled land-use right certificates No. 314 and 315 issued by the land agency in 2017.

Anies told reporters at the City Council building on Wednesday that the ruling would not impede the project.

“[The project construction] will keep running. Persija [the capital’s soccer club] need not worry. I beg for prayer so that there can be fewer disturbances like this in the future, because this bothers [the project],” he said.

“Our endeavor is to build for all Jakartans, not only for small interests,” he added.

Separately, Jakarta Legal Bureau head Yayan Yuhana said the administration would file an appeal by Wednesday. As the plaintiff filed the lawsuit against the BPN, the city administration will act as intervenor-defendant in this case.
