'Bung Karno' Sports Center

'Bung Karno' Sports Center

From Kompas

Recently, quite a lot exhibitions and the like have been held at the East Park of the "Bung Karno" Sports Center, at Senayan, Jakarta. In fact, to hire a space in the area is very costly and various extra charges must be covered.

For example, the official charge for holding an exhibition is Rp 100 million; while there is an unofficial fee to be paid amounting to 250 percent of the official rent. Not to mention the rent for the parking lot and fees for the security personnel. Unfortunately the expensive rent is not matched with improvement off various facilities such as toilets, comfortable and tidy sidewalk vendors etc.

Now that the area has been renamed Gelora Bung Karno (Bung Karno Sports Center), the management of the center should free from the New Order habit i.e. corruption.
