JAKARTA - The shoe monument on the pedestrian street of Jalan Sudirman, Central Jakarta is no longer on display after the vandalism or doodling. Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria said the monument was being cleaned.

"It has to be tidied up and cleaned first. Later, we will show it again," said Riza at DKI City Hall, Central Jakarta, Monday, September 20.

Riza regretted the vandalism at the recently inaugurated monument. In fact, said Riza, the creation of the collaboration monument can beautify Jakarta.

"The shoe monument was made in collaboration to beautify the city of Jakarta, to provide opportunities for MSME creativity. Then there are those who scribble, some are not wise and not good," he said.

Therefore, Riza ensures that the perpetrators of the vandalism of the Shoe Monument in Sudirman will be thoroughly investigated by law enforcement officers. "Of course later the authorities will thoroughly investigate who did it," he said.
