JAKARTA (JP): A combined team from South Jakarta's security
and order office succeeded on Tuesday in registering about 900
street vendors, who trade near markets located in and around
Kebayoran Lama.

"They have registered with the local district office. They
will now be allowed to trade at various markets in South
Jakarta," team leader Rustam Effendy said, Antara reported.

Kebayoran Lama district chief H.Andy Tahrim said that the main
objective of the registration was to know the exact number of
traders selling their goods near Kebayoran Lama market places.

He estimated that of the number registered only 200 were
residents of Jakarta. "The others come from other regions," he
said.

At present there are 27 traditional markets in South Jakarta,
with only four located in Kebayoran Lama. (bas)
