Entertainment centers

I am writing in response to Wahyu P.'s letter of Sept. 11. He was flabbergasted when he passed the Kemang area, South Jakarta, which has become an area emanating indecency and immorality and has had luxury residential houses turned into covert prostitution centers.

Wahyu just passed the Kemang area once, and with one look, he could find out that the entertainment centers are, in reality, covert prostitution centers. What a sharp eye Wahyu has!

But I was flabbergasted when I read his letter, because I sincerely doubt the accuracy of his findings. His comments might be deemed insulting to the many restaurants run by decent people and owned or sponsored by respected Indonesians with integrity.

There might, again might, be one perhaps, but to state that the whole Kemang area is a camouflaged prostitution area is absurd. Pak Wahyu, please take me along with you and show me those places.
