Tanjung Priok Totally Explained

Everything about Tanjung Priok totally explained

Tanjung Priok (also Tandjung Priok) is a subdistrict of North Jakarta, Indonesia. It hosts the city's main harbour of the same name. The port, Indonesia's busiest, is managed by national port company PT Pelindo.
   Tanjung Priok became Jakarta's primary harbor in the late nineteenth century. It largely replaced the Sunda Kelapa (a fish market) area to the west, as that site became too small for the increased traffic resulting from the opening of the Suez Canal.
   Tanjung Priok was the site of a widely-publicised incident on 12 September, 1984, when army forces fired on a group of Muslim protesters. The protesters were demonstrating against proposed government regulations that would require all formal organisations in the country to adopt Pancasila as their ideology. There were conflicting reports about the total death toll, but most sources indicate that several hundred protesters were killed.
   After the fall of Suharto the case was taken up again, and in 2003 fourteen people, among them a former commander of the Kopassus special forces unit, were named as suspects in the 1984 killings.
   The Subdistrict of Tanjung Priok is divided into 7 administrative villages (kelurahan): Kebon Bawang, Papanggo, Sungai Bambu, Sunter Agung, Sunter Jaya, Tanjung Priok, and Warakas.
