Uya Kuya Highlights the Rise of Land Mafia in Indonesia, Urges the Public to Speak Up

Kapanlagi.com - Uya Kuya spoke out about the rampant land mafia in Indonesia after his own family became a victim. The case of land owned by his late father in the Pagedangan area, Sawangan, is a real example of how land mafia can harm the community.

When met at the South Jakarta Metro Police, Thursday (20/2/2025), Uya revealed that the land already had a certificate of ownership, but suddenly it was transferred to a developer without his family's knowledge.

"The land of my late father already had a certificate of ownership and so on, suddenly it was taken over by one of the developers. I forgot the name," Uya revealed.

1. Existence of System Weakness

This case, according to Uya, not only involves the developer but also shows the existence of system weaknesses that allow such practices to occur.

"And amusingly, they can sue BPN and others. So basically, I’m confused why in this country, we have certificates that can be controlled by others and are double-dipped," he added.

2. Uya Kuya Admits Disappointment

Although the value of the land is not too large, Uya feels disappointed because the land that was painstakingly purchased by his late father has now turned into a residential area.

"The land, in my opinion, isn’t much. But this is definitely something my father also thought about; my late father bought the land with great effort and sweat, but how could it change hands to someone else and be developed into housing," he explained.

3. There is Involvement of Village Apparatus

Uya added that this case also involves local village officials, which may be one of the causes of this problem occurring.

"And it also concerns the local officials at that time," Uya revealed.

4. Urging the Community to Speak Up

In addition to discussing personal cases, Uya also criticized the rampant land mafia practices in Indonesia. According to him, the community needs to be brave enough to speak out so that this problem can be eradicated soon.

"Oh yes, even the mafias are increasing and becoming more rampant. Land mafias and any kind of mafia. And we must eradicate them from this beloved country because the time and space to hold power here, what will our country become?" he said.

5. Dare to Demand Justice Against the Land Mafia

Uya reminded that the silence of the community regarding the problems occurring around them can backfire in the future. He invited all parties to be more caring and brave enough to demand justice.

"If we do not speak out because this is not our problem, someday you might find yourself in that problem, who will be behind you? That's the point," Uya concluded.
