Unsafe parking in Kramat Jati market

Unsafe parking in Kramat Jati market

From Neraca

On Nov. 13, 1994 we went to Kramat Jati market, East Jakarta, at about 5 p.m. We parked our car in the parking lot of the market. To our horror, on the way home at 8.30 p.m. our car stalled inside the parking lot only 50 meters from the place where we had parked. Quite a few cars were behind us impatiently waiting for us to move. We were all girls in the car. With the aid of some men we gave the car a push. Meanwhile the parking boys scolded us for blocking the way.

Later we found that the fuel hose underneath the engine had been plugged up with a piece of wood, apparently done by an irresponsible person.

We would like to warn other customers to be careful when parking their cars in parking lots at markets.
