Gambling in a bar

Gambling in a bar

From Jayakarta

I have learned from several newspapers' reports that the
government is enthusiastically carrying out the so-called
"operation cleansing." I think this is a good thing because it
indicates that the government is making an effort to create the
impression of a clean and authoritative government.

I realize that the government has to work hard to realize its
objective. In this context I would like to relate a recent
experience. I visited a bar in the Pondok Pinang area, South
Jakarta, early one evening. To my great surprise, I saw people
gambling inside the bar, a scene which runs counter to the ideals
of "operation cleansing."

The authorities might consider this as a challenge.
