Malls in Jakarta must provide space for street vendors by 10-20 percent. This regulation is managed under Governor Regulation No. 10/2015 about PKL Arrangement and Empowerment.

They are misinterpret with the regulation. 20 percent is including the kiosk inside the mall, or alley

In fact, many mall managements misunderstood with the regulation. They thought 20 percent is including the kiosks inside the building

“They are misinterpret with the regulation. 20 percent is including the kiosk inside the mall, or alley. It’s wrong,” he said, Tuesday (10/11).

Moreover, PKL inside the mall is unable to compete with PKL outside the mall since the management provides a cooperative to determine the price.

“They provide a cooperative, but the food price is still high,” he added.

In fact, several malls have fulfilled their obligation such as Kota Casablanca, Emporium Mall, Gandaria City, and Ciputra World.
