Plaza Senayan

From Republika

Be careful when parking your vehicle at Plaza Senayan. There is a fierce security guard by the name of Birowo.

At 7 p.m. on April 12, I had finished my shopping and wanted to buy some drinks at Dunkin' Donuts within Hero Supermarket in the basement. My driver dropped me off in the parking lot at the supermarket entrance. On my way I heard repeated whistling apparently from a parking attendant wanting my car to move. I went on to buy the drinks. I only needed two minutes to make the trip.

On my return Birowo told me harshly not to park arbitrarily. I explained to him that I did not park the vehicle but just stopped for a few minutes and left my driver in the vehicle, with the engine running and the lights on. The guard could have asked the driver to move the vehicle if need be.

Birowo used some unprintable foul language to harass me further. I asked for his name. He shouted : "Take my name, I am not afraid." Another security guard accosted the vehicle and joined in the chorus of harsh words.

I would like to warn visitors to Plaza Senayan to be wary of security guards like Birowo. The Plaza Senayan management should take immediate steps against Birowo before other visitors fall victim to his ire.
