Market at Klender

Market at Klender

From Media Indonesia

Management of the Market Cooperative of the Klender housing complex, on behalf of the members and other vendors in the area, is questioning the statement made by Commission B of the Jakarta Legislative Body. The statement, which was published in a city newspaper on Sept. 8, 1995, demanded that the construction of the complex market be stopped for the time being.

If this is true, we would like to express our deep concern and deplore the statement because it means the vendors would have to keep using the makeshift market much longer. They have been there since the market was gutted by fire in December 1993.

For your information, there are about 440 vendors experiencing inconvenience in the temporary building. Business is sluggish and we find it hard to improve our economy. The longer we use the place, the worse the situation becomes and ultimately we will face bankruptcy.

Therefore we sincerely ask the authorities to accelerate the construction of the complex market so that we can conduct our business profitably.
