Sellers in Jaya Cibubur Market Complained on Cadgers Outside“This activity will be carried out until Thursday (6/19). If on Friday (6/20) those cadgers still selling, we will control them directly,” stated Head of Duren Sawit Sub-District, Abu Bakar, Tuesday (6/17).
Meanwhile, Slamet (35), a clothes seller, admitted that he is confused when asked not to sell again in KBT area. He told that approaching Ramadhan and Eid ul Fitr, his family’s needs will increase, and not to mention the money needed for hometown journey.
“We ask the government to give us the opportunity to get some money. Besides, fasting month and Eid ul Fitr are approaching, our needs would definitely increase. We only depend getting income from selling,” he begged.
