BENGKULU - Satpol PP closed a massage parlor in the Air Punggur area, Koto Jaya Village, Mukomuko Regency. The closure was due to the practice of covert prostitution.

"What we are closing is the massage parlor, if they have a grocery business, please operate," said Head of the Mukomuko District Satpol PP Office Suryanto in Mukomuko, Bengkulu, Tuesday, August 29, Tuesday 29.

Suryanto explained that the closure was following an employee of a massage parlor who was caught by the Satpol PP carrying out illegal practices.

He added that the closing of the massage parlor was not related to licensing the place of business but related to the practice of prostitution. "Actually, it is not a legal and illegal matter for the massage parlor business, but its activities are not in accordance with the permits given," he said.

Suryanto said that in the near future the Satpol PP will again carry out operations to control business premises that carry out activities that are not in accordance with the permit.

The operation will continue with raids on controlling livestock roaming the highways and public facilities in Mukomuko.

Furthermore, Suryanto asked massage parlor businesses and karaoke entertainment venues to respect local customs and wisdom so that conflicts do not occur with the local community. He said that the majority of massage parlor businesses in Mukomuko do not yet have massage actors who have expertise and certificates issued by the authorities. The massage parlor business should have a therapist who has baby massage skills trained by midwives and other experts.

"Please just do their business with a record of respect for local customs and wisdom. Don't give inconvenience to the surrounding community," he said.
