city.

He said there is no place for prostitutes to operate here.
"Don't ever dream that there will be a redlight district here. We
will take stern measures against those violating existing rules,
including hookers on the streets," the mayor was quoted by Antara
as saying.

The mayoralty's spokesman, Cecep Sutandi, said that the Bekasi
mayoralty has issued a decree prohibiting the practice of
prostitution and warned entertainment centers which violate
