Aprindo requests review of 3-in-1

JAKARTA: Association of Indonesian Retailers (Aprindo) chairman Handaka Santosa requested on Thursday that Governor Sutiyoso review the three-in-one traffic policy, as businesspeople in the affected areas had reported a decline in profit.

He said that many working people preferred to go straight home rather than to a shopping center, to avoid being trapped in the restricted zone stretching from Jl. Sisingamangaraja in South Jakarta to Jl. Gajah Mada in West Jakarta, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Aprindo made the request two months ago, but is yet to receive a response. -- JP
