Of all of them he received compensation (UGR) of Rp 1.2 billion. Jeje said, at first he had refused to sell the land for the construction of a fast train project, because what was formerly called Kampung Babakan Sentral was the area where he was born.

 

"I was born until now in this land, many memories with my parents and children," Jeje said in Kampung Jajaway, Cileunyi District, Friday (5/4/2019). However, after negotiating with all the other family members, he agreed to all of his fields with standard selling prices.
