80-160 year building use rights in IKN to attract investors: Minister

JAKARTA, Oct 12, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – The Ministry of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) is offering building use rights (HGB) of up to 80 and extendable to 160 years to attract investors to the new capital (IKN) Nusantara.

Balang Island Short Span Bridge in Penajam North Paser Regency, East Kalimantan (ANTARA/HO-ATR BPN/rst)

"The efforts will benefit all parties, both to the welfare of those who live in the city or the business actors themselves," ATR Minister and BPN head, Hadi Tjahjanto, said to Antara here on Monday evening.

The 80-year HGB permit is meant as an incentive for investors to invest in IKN Nusantara, he added. The 80-year HGB will be divided into three stages: the first phase will span 30 years, the second phase 30 years, and the third phase 20 years.

In the first phase, the ministry will ask the investor to submit a report assessment. "The permit will continue up to 80 years," he said. The permit can be extended if it is profitable to the community. "If it is still used properly and beneficial to the community, we can still extend it for another 80 years, up to 160 years," the minister informed.

He further said that his ministry has completed four regional spatial planning plans (RDTR) for IKN Nusantara, which will be submitted to the IKN Authority for immediate approval. Furthermore, RDTRs are being prepared for five regions and are targeted to be completed by the end of 2022.

The ministry will provide facilities related to land, spatial planning, and business licensing in the IKN Nusantara area, which will then be submitted to the IKN Authority, he stated.

"We will facilitate it, and we will hand it over to the head of the IKN Authority, including RDTR, spatial planning, and land issues. We will help the process," he added.

Taking the Scary Out of Halloween Animals

NEW YORK, Oct 7, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Is there any other holiday that has more animals associated with it than Halloween? From cats and bats to spiders and snakes and all manner of creepy crawlies, animals are front and center this holiday season offering the perfect opportunity to learn more about them and how we can protect them.

Yowie is dedicated to educating children about endangered animals and how important it is to protect them while also providing delicious, clean-label chocolate. This Halloween they're working to take the scary out of their featured animals and teach children the importance of wildlife conservation. The surprise-inside chocolate treat is sustainably sourced, Rainforest Alliance Certified, and contains no GMOs, palm oil, gluten, nuts or artificial colors and flavors. Plus, each Yowie features an endangered animal collectible inside and a bite-size leaflet to help kids learn about that animal.

"There are so many animals that are thought of as scary this time of year, but the scariest thing is that many are endangered," explained Yowie CMO Cynthia Thayer. "Our current series includes the Peacock Tarantula, the Ruby-eyed Green Pitviper, and the Southern Bent-winged Bat. All are endangered, and all could be considered scary, but we've focused on their superpowers in our newest collection. This bright blue tarantula has hypersensitive hairs, the red-eyed snake's infrared vision helps it hunt, and the bat's ultrasonic calls can't be heard by humans. There is so much more to these animals than being "spooky," and we love sharing this knowledge with our customers."

The construction of the IBS sample house using 3D technology has given us invaluable knowledge and experience that will help to facilitate the development of training programmes that we hope to offer to workers in the construction industry who want to enhance their skills and knowledge."

SCIB also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ABM on 3 October 2022 in conjunction with the CIDB and CIDB Technologies Sarawak chapter graduation ceremony for students. Both parties agreed under the MoU to explore and identify training and assessment for IBS-related programmes and courses as well as share information, technical knowledge and professional experiences leading to the establishment of training courses and modules in IBS that can add value and improve the standards, skills and understanding of construction workers, especially in Sarawak.

Group MD and CEO of SCIB, Rosland, said, "We are happy to work with ABM in developing programmes that will enhance the skills and knowledge of the construction industry. The deployment of technology such as 3D printing comes at a time when businesses are being scrutinised for the impact of their operations on the environment and society. Businesses have a central role to play in society and a key part of it is to operate responsibly."

Korindo in its Transition to an Eco-Friendly Company

JAKARTA, Oct 3, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Environmental issues and climate change get increasingly highlighted as nature declines at unprecedented speed and level. Continuous innovations and mass movements become necessary to soften impacts from the crises.

Korindo Group acknowledges the need to transform into a more environmentally-friendly company by creating breakthroughs in its various business units. An example of this is Cibubur Square Rest Area, with which the company tries to alleviate organic waste dumping issues. Operated by Korindo Group, the public facility includes a bioconversion waste processing plant with BSF (Black Soldier Flies) as its biological agent.

"Poor food waste management practices remain prevalent in many places, and these practices bring negative long-term impacts to nature and human health. That is why we built this facility," said Seo Jeongsik, Korindo Foundation's General Secretary.

Aside from being environmentally beneficial, the bioconversion process is relatively safe for the surrounding area and community. Of all 800 fly species on earth, the Black Soldier Fly stands out for its non-pathogenic nature and the absence of disease agents.

This project marks the foundation's second collaboration with Forest For Life Indonesia (FFLI). In 2018, they built a similar plant in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.

For years, Korindo Group has strived to be more eco-friendly, especially in developing its businesses. Its Paper Division has been awarded as an environmentally-friendly paper producer by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), due to its use of recycled product.

As we know, recycling is one of the ways to solve environmental problems caused by deforestation. Yet, despite using recycled material, Korindo Group pays attention to product quality by upholding ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System.

Korindo's Paper Division is one of the largest newsprint suppliers in Southeast Asia. Its mill is provided with DIP (Deinked Pulp) and paper machines with a total capacity of 330,000 MT per year. Boasting such a large capacity, the Division partners with a number of esteemed media companies, both domestic and abroad (Japan, United States, European countries).

Korindo Group is also the region's only wind tower manufacturer, with more than 50 years of operation. The wind towers help industries generate environmentally-safe renewable energy.

The factory has a production capacity of 500 towers per year, and received certification for ISO 14001:2000, ISO 9001:2000, and The National Board of Boiler & Pressure vessel DIN 18800-7 Class E Japan H-Grade. Today, over 3,000 towers (6 gigawatt) have been created and delivered around the world.

Korindo Group, a leader across multiple industries in the South East Asian market, have a lot to be proud of. Over our 50 years of operation, we've built up our business by making a significant contribution to the country's economic development while simultaneously upholding environmentally friendly, future-oriented practices.
