Market deserted in Bekasi

BEKASI (JP): While most markets are thronging with buyers during the days leading up to the Moslem fasting month of Ramadhan, Cibitung market in Bekasi has been deserted by both traders and customers alike.

According to Bekasi Market Authority chief Donnie Setiawan, this is because most of the traders there, who are from various towns in West Java such as Purwakarta, Subang and Karawang, have already left the market to fast in their hometowns.

Cibitung market chief Riswandi said that the pattern had been the same for many years. (12/mas)
