Keep Monas clean<\/p>\n
I read an article about the National Monument (Monas) Park in
\nthe Sept. 9 The Jakarta Post. I am a regular visitor to Monas and
\nwould like to make the following suggestions about the park's
\nupkeep:<\/p>\n
* All roads leading to Monas and around the area should be
\nclosed to vehicle traffic from late at night until 7 a.m. so that
\nJakartans can enjoy their morning exercise in clean air free from
\npollution. Similarly, on weekends and holidays, no vehicle
\ntraffic should be allowed in the area.<\/p>\n
* No person should be allowed to live permanently around
\ntoilets and all temporary structures should be demolished.<\/p>\n
* No vendors should be allowed to store their merchandise or
\nkeep trolleys etc. overnight in the Monas area to avoid a
\npermanent market from becoming established.<\/p>\n
* Food stalls should be allowed only in a designated area to
\nensure that Monas Park does not become dirty. They are the main
\nsource of garbage and must be controlled.<\/p>\n
* We should maintain Monas Park as a site of our national
\npride and keep it clean, with well maintained greenery similar to
\nparks in other capitals of the world.<\/p>\n
