One of the traders, Riki, admitted that he was disadvantaged by the regulation. He said he would return home to find another business. Later, when the situation in Tangerang City starts to return to normal.

"How about it, it's a loss, yes. I can't work (trade) so I want to go home first until it's opened", he said.

Riki also explained that he had only just learned of the rules for closing the area where he traded. He admitted that he only got the information after being asked to close his stall.

"I don't know if I told them to close. I just sold them", he said.

Another trader, Wildan, said the same thing. He felt aggrieved by the existence of these regulations. But he could not do much about the regulations. So choose to close the trade.

"I'm saying it's a loss, it's a loss, mas. But how else can I be told to close", he said.
