Makassar – Gowa-Makassar Students' Forum for Solidarity held a rally in front of Makassar City Hall on Monday, demanding a termination of beach reclamation on Jl. Penghibur where the heritage Rotterdam Fort lies.

The students believe reclamation will destroy the heritage site. "The reclamation plans are without permission and there has been no assessment on environmental impact," the rally's coordinator, Gunawan Ginting said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

After about an hour, the students dispersed because nobody from the city administration was willing to meet the student re-presentative.

The city's spokesman, Mukhtar Tahir, said the deputy mayor was hosting a guest from the Public Works Ministry so he could not receive the student representative.

However, before leaving the city hall, the students threatened that they would return with more people if the authority did not realize their demand within three days.
