Serang has changed

Serang has changed

From Republika

I have lived in Serang, West Java, since my childhood. It was a lovely life. All social activities focused in and around the town's square. I used to go to the square just to relax.

But Serang changed as I grew up. Factories and plazas came in. Television began bombarding the family and we are now entertained with workers' quarrels, reports on poor villages and even the Golden Key Group scandal.

I still love old Serang. I am sad to witness the demolition of old buildings and shade trees to make room for road widening. There are no more places for children to play!
