Makassar, S Sulawesi (ANTARA News) - The South Sulawesi provincial administration is to recommend the selection of Makassar as the site of Indonesia's new capital to the government in accordance with the result of a seminar held on January 24 on moving the national capital from Jakarta.
The seminar recommended making Makassar as the the seat of the government of Indonesia, while Jakarta could remain the capital city, spokesman of South Sulawesi Administration Andi Mualim said here Thursday.
"The result of the seminar was based on a consensus among some researchers and I hope the President will read it. We will send the proposal to Jakarta today," Andi said.
If there was approval from the president, the South Sulawesi administration would make further suggestions, he said.
Previously, the Landscaping and Urban Planning Office of South Sulawesi held a seminar titled "Capital City, the Prospects and Challenge of Moving the Capital City to Makassar" on January 24.
At the seminar, South Sulawesi Governor Syahrul Yasin Limpo said Makassar was ready to be a new capital city candidate as it was considered to meet the requirements from the political, governance, economic, social, and security viewpoints.
Some of the Ministry Office such as Maritime and Fisheries, and Agriculture Ministry were proposed to be moved to Makassar as they were more associated with Eastern Indonesian affairs.
Yasin Limpo hoped that the idea of the capital city moving to Makassar would bring new paradigm and would not cast any inconvenience to particular people who prefer to have the capital in Java Island.(KR-AES/A014)
