JAKARTA (JP): A 12-member delegation of the Yogyakarta
legislative council conducted a comparative study on how to
tackle social issues on housemaids, the collection of alms,
prostitution and pornographic VCDs in the city.

"We want to learn about how housemaid businesses are
controlled as numerous occurrences of such problems are now
surfacing in Yogyakarta," Mohammad Oemar, who led the delegation,
said after meeting Edy Suchro Abdul Djalal, chairman of City
Council Commission D for economic affairs, on Monday.

Edy said that so far, the city administration has yet to draft
special regulations to fight prostitution and pornographic VCDs.
In the absence of specific regulations, the 1998 ruling on public
order remains effective, Edy added. (rms)
