JAKARTA - A week has passed, a number of residents in the Mancung alley, RT 12/12, Utan Kayu Selatan Village, Matraman District, East Jakarta, are starting to get restless with the appearance of a number of snakes from empty houses that often terrorize residents.

"I personally feel (resah). Moreover, my house is quite close, and there are still gaps at the top. I'm afraid I don't see the air entering my house, he is in the above position," said Rini Wijiastuti (48), the neighbor of the empty house to reporters, Friday, September 15.

After the emergence of a number of snakes from inside an empty house mysteriously, the peace of residents in Gang Mancung began to be disturbed. Residents are worried that the reptiles will disturb local residents.

"Since there was a snake, I slept not calm. I didn't sleep above anymore, so I kept sleeping under. I was worried because I had a small child too," he explained.

Rini hopes that the owner of the house will immediately occupy or clean and renovate the house. If not, at least they dispose of the snakes to clean them all up.

"So far, thirteen snakes have been found. Four large snakes are about a size of 4 meters, if the rest are small in the range of 1 meter," he said.

In addition, Rini admitted that local residents had made a signature petition asking the East Jakarta City Government to immediately complete the evacuation in an empty house that became a'snake kingdom'.

"We have signed all residents and we have submitted them to the relevant parties so that they can take action quickly. Let it be safe again as before, don't worry anymore, every night I can't sleep. Every night I take care of the residents, I'm afraid that snakes will pass. Especially if this afternoon, there are many small children because this afternoon the children come out," he hoped.

The head of RT 12/12, Yanti, said the same thing. According to him, almost every night the residents reported to him regarding complaints about the presence of a snake from the empty house.

"It happened to me almost every night because I was worried. Finally, it was the residents' reports, all signatures reported to RW, then to Kelurahan to Kecamatan, Mayor and Matraman Police on Wednesday," said Yanti.
