Close immoral entertainment<\/p>\n
From Neraca<\/p>\n
I disagree with the Jakarta Governor's plan to allow night
\nentertainment businesses to operate with restricted hours between
\nthe end of evening prayers and the pre-daybreak meal during the
\nfasting month, although it gives the businesses a limited
\nopportunity to survive.<\/p>\n
At the same time a certain group in society -- obviously
\ndisregarding the governor's plan -- has issued a warning against
\nthese immoral places opening during the holy month and has
\nexplicitly stated that they will forcefully close them.<\/p>\n
I would like to appeal to the governor and the owners of
\nnight spots to heed such demands, as it is widely known that
\nthese places -- operating behind the facade of massage and sauna
\ncenters, nightclubs and karaoke halls -- are in fact no better
\nthan prostitution areas.<\/p>\n
I also send a word of caution to the pornographic VCD rental
\noutlets and those involved in gambling in the city, though I am
\nfully aware that these unlicensed businesses are backed by
\ncertain people from the security and city administrations.<\/p>\n
To avoid closure by force, all immoral businesses, licensed or
\notherwise, should be voluntarily closed.<\/p>\n
