The latest decision was given by the Jakarta State Administrative Court (PTUN Jakarta) for PT Muara Wisesa Samudra (MWS), a subsidiary of PT Agung Podomoro Land Tbk (APLN).

At around the same time, the President also issued a Presidential Regulation, explaining the continuation of development on the four islands.
