Shopping centers violate bylaw

JAKARTA: The city council urged the administration to take
action against six companies that manage shopping centers here
for failing to provide space for small-scale traders.

They are: PT Senayan Trikarya Sempana (Senayan Square in
Central Jakarta), PT Maspion (shopping center and offices on Jl.
Gunung Sahari No. 14, Central Jakarta), PT Contimas Utama
Indonesia (Carrefour in Puri Indah Mall, West Jakarta, and in
Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta), PT Perwita Marga Sakti (shopping
center on Jl. Prof. Dr. Satrio, Kuningan, South Jakarta) and PT
Duta Pertiwi (ITC Mangga Dua, North Jakarta, ITC Cempaka Mas III
and Cempaka Mas I in Central Jakarta) and PT Sumarecon Agung
(Kelapa Gading Plaza), Antara reported.

The list, obtained by the Economic Office of the city
administration, was made public by Dani Anwar, secretary of
Commission B for Economic Affairs, on Saturday.

According to Gubernatorial Decree No.50/1999, Bylaw No.2/2002
on private markets, the management should provide space for
small-scale traders.

The 2002 bylaw replaced the one issued in 1992, which allowed
shopping center managements to provide funds in lieu of the space
that was supposed to be allocated to small-scale traders. --JP
