Why does Indonesia want to move its Jakarta capital?

http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/indonesia-studying-plan-to-relocate-capital

Jakarta is under serious threat from rising sea level and is constantly flooding because 40% of its land is under sea level now.  With the breakage of the iceberg in Antarctica, the sea level will rise a further 10cm in the foreseeable future.  This is the problem of global warming.

The next capital under siege is Bangkok.  Bangkok is sinking about 5cm per year and with the rising sea level, flooding will become a serious threat to this capital.  Foreigners who bought BKK condos will have problems cashing out their properties.
