Safety in the city

Safety in the city

From Merdeka

As a Jakarta citizen who longs for safety, progress and brightness in the city, I am in full support of the efforts made by the Armed Forces and the Police to eradicate the hoodlums who terrorize the community.

Jakarta should not become unsafe, inspiring fear in all. Foreigners would also be afraid to come here to sightsee or to invest capital.

Therefore the efforts to overcome troubled conditions in Jakarta should be seriously continued. Apart from fighting the hoodlums, steps must also be taken against their protectors.

Order in Jakarta must be maintained. The city should be clean from hoodlums. Unwanted are also street fights generated by secondary school students along with the extortionists who cause traders and public transport drivers to go in fear and who compel them to pay protection money ranging from Rp 100 to Rp 100,000.
