'Close nightspots during fasting month'

KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: The local office of the
Indonesian Ulemas Council (MUI) urged the provincial
administration to temporarily close nightspots and entertainment
centers during Ramadhan.

"We call on the provincial administration to bar nightspots
and entertainment centers from opening during the fasting month
to create a conducive atmosphere for local Muslims," Hamzah
Mappa, chairman of the local office of MUI, said here on Friday.

He regretted that unlike other provinces, Southeast Sulawesi
did not have any bylaw regulating nightspots and entertainment
centers during Ramadhan.
