Shop owners file protest<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Shop owners at the Glodok Plaza shopping complex
\nin West Jakarta filed a protest on Friday against the complex's
\nmanagement, PT Multi Plaza Properties (PT MPP), over parking,
\nsanitation and security fees.<\/p>\n
An executive of the Association of Glodok Plaza Shop and Shop-
\nHouse Owners, Hendrik, was quoted by Suara Pembaruan daily on
\nSunday as saying the shop owners would soon take over the
\nmanagement of the parking because PT MPP had repeatedly refused
\nto meet the owners' demands.<\/p>\n
Also, the shop owners already have building use certificates,
\nmeaning they also have authority over the parking lots at the
\nplaza, Hendrik said.<\/p>\n
He said the shop owners had for more than 10 years obeyed the
\ncompany's rules, although the parking fees they were charged were
\nburdensome.<\/p>\n
A shop owner with one car, for example, is charged Rp 75,000
\nper month by PT MPP. For two cars, the fee is Rp 135,000 per
\nmonth.<\/p>\n
\"The parking fee for a motorcycle is also set at between Rp
\n60,000 per month for one motorcycle and Rp 135,000 for two,\" he
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Monthly sanitation and security fees are set by PT MPP at Rp
\n125,000 per shop.<\/p>\n
The traders said they had reported the case to the West
\nJakarta Mayoralty Office, which has supported in principal the
\nshop owners' plan to take over the management of the parking
\nlots.(ind)<\/p>",
