The Indonesian government has announced that it is setting aside Rp 1.3 trillion to build a new parliamentary building.
The current iconic structure is reportedly tilting seven degrees and its 24 floors cracking.
It is unclear if the existing building can be saved.
The building, which was originally intended by founding President Sukarno to house the Conference of New Emerging Forces, was completed under President Suharto in 1968.
It is understood the new building will cost Rp 1.3 trillion and consist of 36 floors and 700 rooms.
Construction is due to begin in August.
