Massage parlors and prostitution

From Kompas

It's no secret that massage parlors in Jakarta are disguised as brothels. Permits for massage parlors aren't controlled adequately, so their function has been distorted.

Jakartan police raided several establishments. Many couples were caught red-handed during the raids. The police's actions are highly commendable.

Sadly, however, Deputy House Speaker of the Jakarta Legislative Body H. Ismunandar criticized the raids because they decrease regional income and employment opportunities.

Can't the city's administration earn money in a better way?
