Black statue

Black statue

Those who frequently drive through the Pancoran area, South Jakarta, must be familiar with the statue standing close to the fly-over at the Jl. Gatot Subroto-Jl. Raya Pasar Minggu intersection.

Unfortunately, this unique statue looks completely black, and it is not clearly visible at night because there is not enough light to illuminate it. And the foundation that supports the statue is full of graffiti.

I wonder if Jakartans care about the condition of the statue. I think the government should look after all the statues found in Jakarta to add to the beauty of the city.
