Reclamation of the Gulf of Jakarta

The reclamation of the Gulf of Jakarta is expected to affect the livelihoods of many fishermen living nearby. Why is it that a country that is not land-scarce needs to reclaim land? Is this going to be another white elephant project with no direct benefits to the people? Have anyone done a proper cost-benefit analysis of this project?

Isn’t it better to invest in improving the transport infrastructure? Isn’t it better to invest in improving the drainage system?
