Reported by Erna Martiyanti | Translated by Nugroho Adibrata
Acting Jakarta Governor Basuki ‘Ahok’ T Purnama is known as a person who firmly against violations made by street vendors (PKL). Commonly, those who violate the rules will be controlled. But this time, he only warned them.
If you sell on sidewalk, please don’t throw trash haphazardly
This is happened after Ahok arrived at the City Hall using TransJakarta bus, Monday (11/10). When he saw the street vendors selling in front of City Hall, he asked them to always maintain cleanliness.
“If you sell on sidewalk, please don’t throw trash haphazardly,” said Ahok while approaching a grass jelly ice vendor in front of City Hall who only nodded and listened to Ahok warning.

“We do not prohibit street vendors to sell on sidewalks, because they would get profit since many people are passing by. But, don’t close the road because it is dangerous,” he asserted.
Similar to previous street vendor, the mobile instant coffee seller only nodded and listened to Ahok’s warning.
“Yes sir, yes sir,” he said.
