REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – The inactive Governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok), said it is fair that the case Sumber Waras Hospital won by the city government. He said that it was legitimate, because the government bought a certificated land by the National Land Agency (BPN).  “So, if you want to buy any land, the safest was buying from BPN and the notaries," said Ahok in the House of Lembang, Menteng, Central Jakarta, on Wednesday.

Previously, the West Jakarta District Court rejected the lawsuit of the Social Association of Candra Naya. The lawsuit was associated with the disputed land ownership of Sumber Waras Hospital. The land had been purchased by the city government of Jakarta from Sumber Waras Foundation.
