JAKARTA – The Gunung Antang prostitution site in Matraman, East Jakarta is still operating. A number of dimly lit cafes and prostitution are still active at night. Although PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) has sent a letter of independent demolition until the deadline of Tuesday, August 2, but to this day there has been no demolition in the localization.

The Mayor of East Jakarta, Muhammad Anwar said, regarding the Mount Antang area, his party would wait for another coordination meeting regarding the control by PT KAI.

"We are waiting for the (return) meeting, because the SP (warning letter) that was issued to them is on the land for social facilities, their public facilities," Anwar said when confirmed by reporters, Wednesday, August 3.

Previously, the Head of RW 09 Palmeriam Urban Village, Sutrisno, said that there had been no independent control activities in the Gunung Antang area.

In fact, Sutrisno said the Gunung Antang area had even resumed operations after previously being stopped due to the attack by a gang of Gunung Antang thugs to the residential area of RW 01, Rawabunga Village, Jatinegara District.

The attacks took place on Sunday, June 12 and Monday, June 13. The gang of thugs attacked using sharp weapons, stones, and homemade revolver type firearms.

"There are no signs of enforcement yet. In the letter, it is clear that the residents on Mount Antang must dismantle independently, but they were given a time limit until the 2nd (August), then they were forced to dismantle," said Sutrisno.
