Prostitution complex demolished

BOGOR: Depok and Bogor public order officials demolished on
Thursday 46 structures that were used for prostitution in
Bojonggede district, Bogor.

But local residents felt the officials did not go far enough
in demolishing only selected structures, all of which were non-
permanent.

"I am disappointed because the officers only demolished the
temporary structures," Ujang, a local, said, adding that the
officials' reasoning was that the permanent structures had
building permits from the administration.

Aruji, 35, another resident, said he was happy with the
demolition of the buildings, most of which were constructed in
1979.

"The complex negatively impacted the locals, particularly the
children. Due to the negative influence, more than 50 percent of
our children have gotten married before they reached the age of
18. As a result we have seen many divorces here," he noted.--JP
