Former Youth
and Sports Minister Adhyaksa Dault said that the area in Bukit
Hambalang, Sentul, West Java, is not suitable for the construction of a
sports complex because it is located near a volcanic mountain. “It’s
located in the Ring of Fire, surrounded by volcanoes,” said Adhyaksa on
Monday.
According to Adhyaksa, in 2003, the Sports Directorate-General indeed planned on building a sports complex in Hambalang. Therefore, a 32-hectare land was acquired. However, the process had been stalled because businessman Probosutedjo claimed ownership of the land.
At that time, Adhyaksa consulted a geology expert, the late J.A. Katili. Katili suggested Adhyaksa to build the sports complex somewhere else. “He [Katili] said, ‘Why there? The place is surrounded by Mount Gede, Mount Galunggung, Pelabuhan Ratu—all volcanoes’,” Adhyaksa explained.
