Not ready for scrap heap yet

From Pos Kota

I own a 1979 Toyota Corolla, which I bought after saving up
for it over a long period. I am, therefore, very disappointed to
hear that Jakarta's governor has issued a decision prohibiting
automobiles made before 1990 from entering Jakarta.

If this regulation is enforced, I, as a resident of Tangerang,
call on the Tangerang regional administration to do likewise with
respect to automobiles from Jakarta.

It is said that the regulation will reduce by only about 2
percent the number of vehicles parked in Jakarta.

Traffic congestion in Jakarta can be alleviated only if the
authorities take firm action against those violating traffic
regulations. Besides, the Jakarta administration should also
restrict the number of new automobiles.

Don't they say that old citizens deserve to be respected, not
discarded? The same is also true for old automobiles.
