·         Mangoes are more expensive than chicos.

·         Alex is more intelligent than Carlo.

·         Iron is more useful than any other metal.

3. Superlative degree .

Bekasi hands over 5 hectares of land to Jakarta

Jakarta | Tue, May 17 2016 | 09:32 pm

The Bekasi city administration on Tuesday handed over five hectares of land in Jatimurni, Pondok Melati district, to the Jakarta city administration.
The handover was carried out based on Home Affairs regulation from 2015 concerning the borderline of Jakarta districts and Bekasi, West Java. The land is to fall under the management of the East Jakarta administration. 
“Based on a close study and field monitoring, the Bekasi city administration believes that the vacant five-hectare land is actually owned by Jakarta. Therefore, we decided to return the land to Jakarta,” said Bekasi mayor Rahmat Effendi at Jakarta City Hall on Tuesday.
The handover was followed by the revocation of taxable value of property ( NJOP ) for 35 taxable objects in Bekasi. The NJOP will be decided by the East Jakarta administration, he added.
Meanwhile, Jakarta governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama said on Tuesday that his administration would develop a water reservoir on the land to mitigate flooding in both Jakarta and Bekasi.
Mayor Rahmat believes the completion of the flood mitigation project should help mitigate flooding in the rainy season. “Our city will benefit from the reservoir construction,” Rahmat said.
Ahok said that his administration had cooperated with the administration of the neighboring city, citing that his administration had disbursed Rp 400 billion ( US$30 million ) to the Bekasi city administration this year. ( bbn )
