Dirty market

From Neraca

There is still some truth to the proverb: "Cleanliness is fundamental to health." Now if we have a look at Pasar Minggu market in South Jakarta and pass in front of Robinson's department store, we can definitely conclude that the area is filthy and unhygienic.

This market is visited by people from places like Depok, Manggarai, Lenteng Agung, Jagakarsa, Pejaten and so on. The stench of the place is horrible. I wish the South Jakarta authorities would make an on the spot observation to improve the conditions. It is high time the government did something about it.
