Four public toilets to be demolished

JAKARTA: The Central Jakarta administration will soon demolish
four public toilets constructed on the sidewalk of Jl. Senen Raya
in the Senen area.

Central Jakarta Mayor Hosea Petra Lumbun said the construction
of the toilets had violated Bylaw No. 11/1988, on public order
and Gubernatorial Decree No. 80/1998 on mobile toilets.

"I've ordered the officials concerned to soon demolish the
public toilets on Jl. Senen Raya, in front of Gelanggang Remaja
Planet Senen and the Senen bus terminal," he was quoted by
beritajakarta.com as saying.

He said that the sidewalk should only be used by pedestrians,
not for public toilets.

Meanwhile, Senen district head A. Rahman Siddik said that he
would discuss the problem with his subordinates first before
making any move to demolish the toilets.--JP
