JAKARTA - The Green Open Space Function (RTH) of Suropati Park in the Menteng area, Central Jakarta, as a green environmental conservation site, has now changed in an instant on Thursday, October 19, noon.
The park, which is actually clean from dirt and garbage, has now changed to be filled with food waste that is scattered on the grass of Taman Suropati. A number of boxes of used food were thrown away by sympathizers of the presidential candidate pair (Capres).
In fact, at several points in the Suropati Park area, there are a number of waste disposal sites. However, they are reluctant to dispose of garbage in the proper place.
"There was this event, instead it was not orderly. When they finished eating, throw the garbage away arbitrarily. The garbage was even left in the Taman area. It only damaged the beautiful Suropati Park area," said Ratna (28) one of the visitors to Taman Suropati to VOI.
Ratna is busy as an employee in the Menteng area, indeed often takes the time to stop by the Suropati Park to do her job on a laptop. According to him, Suropati Park is always clean.
