Punish sex workers<\/p>\n
From Neraca<\/p>\n
I fully support the police's measures to curb the sex business
\nand gambling activities in large cities like Jakarta, Bandung and
\nSemarang and also in Bali. Such businesses always have a negative
\nimpact which ultimately leads to crime.<\/p>\n
My notes show that during the last month the police have
\nnabbed hundreds of high class comfort women who offer tariffs
\nranging from Rp 250,000 to Rp 500,000, or even millions of rupiah
\nfor a meeting. But I do not want the police to set the suspects
\nfree without taking their case to court. Many times a criminal is
\narrested but later released without trial. Some suspects are even
\nput under house arrest because someone guaranteed that they would
\nnot flee the country.<\/p>\n
In many cases suspects are released because there is no
\nevidence that they committed the crimes. This gives the
\nimpression that the police can't do their job efficiently.<\/p>\n
By mentioning this I do not mean to criticize the police but I
\nwant to present the facts.<\/p>\n
If criminals are penalized at all, the sentence is so light
\nthat after completing their term they can resume their old
\nbusiness.<\/p>\n
In this context I appeal to the law enforcing bodies to deal
\nwith crimes more seriously to check rising trend in the major
\ncities.<\/p>\n
