Monas: An observation

Monas: An observation

From Berita Buana

Although the National Monument (Monas) park is no longer used
as the site of the Jakarta Fair, many are still attracted to the
park on regular days. People go at night to relax and walk
around. And where there are crowds, there are vendors. It is said
that in Indonesia there are about 34 million small business
operators, or about one vendor for every five people. Many of the
vendors are children of school age, hawking their goods to the
Monas visitors.

Talk about irony. High-rise buildings surround Monas, housing
rich people living a luxurious life. On the other hand, right
below are the city's least privileged struggling just to survive.
