JAKARTA - The Citayam Fashion Week (CFW) activity in the Dukuh Atas area, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, has begun to receive criticism from the Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria. According to him, the Fashion Show activity is considered disturbing public order.

"Don't go on the street if you hold a fashion show, it will disturb public order," said Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, to reporters in the Dukuh Atas area, Central Jakarta, Saturday, July 23, evening.

The Deputy Governor assessed that the fashion show in the middle of the road was very disturbing activities for people to walk and cross. Not to mention the two-wheeled vehicles parked on the sidewalk to disturb pedestrians.

"Bicycle lanes are used to park motorcycles, it's very disturbing," he said.

Seeing the increasing number of CFW visitors in the Dukuh Atas area, the provincial government plans to organize and relocate the SCBD youth trend to other places. For example, in the National Monument (Monas) area, Senayan, Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) and the Sarinah courtyard.

"The four locations can later be used as fashion week, so we can also meet there. The important thing is not to do activities in the middle of the road and it is very disturbing and dangerous," he explained.

Furthermore, the Deputy Governor of DKI also supports the Central Jakarta Metro Police which states that the function of the zebra crossing is a place for pedestrians to cross. Instead of being a place for catwalk fashion show activities.

"Later, celebrities, artists and all of them who have fashion show talent can hold it at the location (relocation). Later, we will find a place, we discussed with all related parties. Not in the middle of the road or at the zebra cross, it is very dangerous," he said.
