Volunteers or extorters?

Volunteers or extorters?

From Warta Kota

During the ongoing floods, which have caused many people great misfortune, there are some people or institutions that have had the heart to take advantage of such a situation. Take for example the "volunteers" who direct the traffic so that vehicles don't get trapped in potholes or drive through deep patches of water.

These "volunteers" have worsened congestion by standing in the middle of the roads sometimes directing vehicles intentionally toward even more congested routes. And then they have the bottle to ask for money from drivers! From recent experience, they refused to receive Rp 1,000 and, in a threatening tone, demanded Rp 5,000 or even Rp 10,000.
