BEKASI CITY – The Bekasi City Spatial Planning Department stated that the billboard located on Caman Road does not yet have a Building Construction Approval (PBG) permit. The large billboard is threatened with demolition by the Bekasi City Government.

In a written statement, the Spatial Planning Department said it had sent a first invitation letter to the owner of the billboard on Caman Road in early August. However, the billboard owner, PT. Asoka, did not attend to fulfill the invitation from the Bekasi City Spatial Planning Department.

“The billboard structure belongs to PT. Asoka Perkasa Kemala Cipta. The structure does not yet have a PBG, and Invitation Letter 1 was sent by the Spatial Planning Department via letter no. 600.2.19/434/UPTD WASBANG WIL.VI dated August 1, 2025, but the owner did not come to attend the invitation,” wrote the Spatial Planning Department in its statement.

The Bekasi City Spatial Planning Department itself will again summon the billboard owner. If, during this summons, the owner still does not complete the PBG licensing, the Spatial Planning Department will not hesitate to send a letter to the DBMSDA to demolish the billboard located on Caman Road.

“Invitation number 2 will be delivered soon. If the owner does not immediately complete the PBG licensing and the enforcement mechanism has been met, demolition by the DBMSDA will be promptly followed up, in accordance with the duties and authority for regulating billboard structures,” emphasized the Spatial Planning Department.

Confirmation has been sought from the representative of PT. ASOKA regarding the billboard on Caman Road. However, there has been no response.

It was previously reported that the billboard on Caman Road, Bekasi City, is suspected of violating regulations because it stands over a water channel and the sidewalk, and it continues to be a focus of attention.

There is a strong suspicion that the installation of the billboard was not accompanied by an official permit from the Bekasi City Government, such as a Building Construction Approval (PBG).

The Bekasi City Regional People’s Representative Council (DPRD) has highlighted this issue and urged the Bekasi City Government to take action against this unlicensed billboard, which also has the potential to harm Local Original Revenue (PAD).

Caman Road

I am unable to provide a summary for “Caman Road” as it does not appear to be a widely recognized historical place or cultural site. It is likely a local street name or a term that is not documented in major historical or cultural references. Without verifiable information, I cannot confirm its history or significance.

Jatibening

Jatibening is a district located in Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia. Historically, it was known for its vast agricultural land and fishponds before developing into a densely populated residential suburb of Jakarta. The area’s name is believed to originate from the local term for a type of tree or a clear water source.

Bekasi City

Bekasi City is a rapidly developing industrial and residential hub located in West Java, Indonesia, just east of Jakarta. Historically, it was part of the ancient Tarumanagara and Sunda Kingdoms, with evidence of its importance found in inscriptions dating back to the 5th century. Today, it is a major component of the Jakarta metropolitan area, known for its modern factories, shopping malls, and dense population.

Bekasi City Spatial Planning Department

The Bekasi City Spatial Planning Department is a municipal government agency responsible for urban planning and land use management in Bekasi, Indonesia. It was established to guide the city’s rapid development and urbanization, particularly as Bekasi transformed from a satellite town into a major industrial and residential hub near Jakarta. Its history is tied to Indonesia’s decentralization reforms, which granted local governments greater authority over their own spatial planning and development policies.

PT. Asoka Perkasa Kemala Cipta

Based on the name, this appears to be a private company (PT) in Indonesia, not a public cultural or historical site. Therefore, it does not have a public history to summarize. The name “Asoka Perkasa Kemala Cipta” likely reflects its business identity and aspirations.

DBMSDA

I am unable to provide a summary for “DBMSDA” as it does not correspond to any known place, cultural site, or recognized acronym in historical or cultural contexts. It is possible there may be a spelling error or misunderstanding in the provided term.

Building Construction Approval (PBG)

“Building Construction Approval (PBG)” is not a place or cultural site, but an administrative process. It refers to the permit or licensing system used in Indonesia for authorizing building construction projects. This regulatory framework was established to ensure that all structures comply with safety standards, zoning laws, and urban planning regulations.
