        "summary": "Traders at Cipulir Market in South Jakarta have reported experiencing flooding seven times in 2025, forcing them to hastily elevate their goods during heavy rains to avoid losses. The recurring issue is attributed to delays in infrastructure improvements, particularly unfinished excavations for a pump house that exacerbate rapid water ingress into the market's ground floor. This has led to significant financial damages, such as during a Ramadan flood where unsaved stock resulted in losses potentially running into tens of millions of rupiah, highlighting broader challenges in urban flood management.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - Traders claim that their stalls have been inundated by\nfloods seven times at Cipulir Market in South Jakarta throughout\n2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been selling here for one year. If counted, it has flooded\nsix or seven times,\u201d said Syaiful (36), one of the shirt traders, when\nmet by Kompas.com at the location on Saturday night (2\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The traders must race against time to save their goods every time\nheavy rain falls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re late, the water rises quickly; in just one hour, it\u2019s\nalready full. So, basically, as soon as it starts raining, we lift (the\ngoods) using sacks up the stairs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Syaiful believes that the slow handling of infrastructure around\nCipulir Market is the root cause of the flooding problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEspecially since there has been excavation right in front here for\nthe pump house. That has been going on for a long time, years, and it\u2019s\nnot finished,\u201d Syaiful revealed.<\/p>\n<p>This condition causes the water level to rise very quickly into the\nground floor area of the market where he trades.<\/p>\n<p>If they are late in anticipating it, the traders are certain to\nsuffer substantial material losses.<\/p>\n<p>For example, during the flood at the beginning of Ramadan 2026, when\nthe water pooling entered the market at 02.00 WIB in the early hours,\nthe traders had already gone home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t have time to secure it, so the day before, about two to\nthree dozen were inundated. Alhamdulillah, they could still be saved by\nlaundering. But yes, the costs multiply because laundering requires\nfees. It\u2019s gone, a loss,\u201d said Syaiful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe shop next door even had all its goods completely flooded, about\n50 dozen. Imagine, good items like gamises sold for Rp 100,000 per\npiece. Wholesale per dozen is Rp 750,000; calculate the loss, it\u2019s a\nlot, probably tens of millions if not saved,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Similar concerns are felt by Miran (39), a trader who has been\nselling at Cipulir Market for more than 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>The flood that occurred this Saturday afternoon forced him to turn\nback from his home in Jembatan Lima, West Jakarta, and return to the\nmarket at night to drain the mud residue from the flood.<\/p>",
