Pintu Air stickup zone<\/p>\n
From Bisnis Indonesia<\/p>\n
When my wife and I were being driven home after a hard day's
\nwork, we were jolted out of lethargy. When we slowly passed Pintu
\nAir on Pasar Baru during a traffic jam, we witnessed a saddening
\nincident.<\/p>\n
Readers who pass the area around 5 p.m. know that this is the
\ntime when traffic is at its worst. Office personnel are waiting
\nfor public transportation, newspaper vendors mill around, food
\nand drink vendors grab this opportunity to make a sale, and there
\nare also schoolchildren going to and fro.<\/p>\n
When we got stuck in this quagmire, we saw a young office
\nworker being harassed by two men clad in white shirts and gray
\ntrousers, both wearing caps. Their clothing resembled senior high
\nschool uniforms.<\/p>\n
We thought it was just an average scene at first, when people
\nget jostled around in crowded places, but what followed was even
\nmore disconcerting.<\/p>\n
The young victim was forced to produce his wallet, which he
\nhanded over to one of the fellows in uniform while the other held
\na pen knife against him. After losing his belongings, the young
\nman fled the scene. Fear and confusion were clearly reflected on
\nhis face.<\/p>\n
