Jakarta – The Public Works Ministry denied a main building at the House of Representatives is leaning 7 degrees, which had compelled the House to seek Rp 1.8 trillion in funds to demolish and replace the 23-story building.

Anita Firmanti, chairperson of the ministry's research and development section, said a recent structural audit found the Nusantara I building requires only minor repairs and no significant structural flaws were found.

The structural check was conducted following an earthquake that jolted West Java and Jakarta, where no building management had reported any significant damage beyond cracks on the wall – as the ministry also found at Nusantara I.

Anita said the ministry only recommends routine renovations focusing on the cracks found on various floors. News about the Nusantara I Building 7-degree list was reported by deputy House speaker Priyo Budi Santoso.
