Cirebon is likely to become a province in 2012, the Cirebon Province Formation Presidium (P3C) Chief Nana Sudiana says.
“We have fulfilled all the administrational requirements,” he said on Sunday as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
The idea to make Cirebon a province began circulating around 60 years ago when it was the subject of discussion of religious leaders, local leaders and public organizations, Nana said.
“The idea dates back to 1953,” he said.
The dream lives on and has gained support from local leaders and West Java Governor Ahmad Heryawan.
P3C consultative body member Arief Natadiningrat said he hoped Cirebon as a province would improve the welfare of the people of Cirebon.
He added that the Cirebon region has huge potential to become a province because it already has facilities in place that would help it stake its claim such as its own airport and port.
