Not That I’d Go To Tangerang Anyway
26 02 2009The Tangerang government is holding weekly searches to hotels in the town area in search of ‘adulterers’, alcohol and ‘illegal prostitution’. Oh, is there ‘legal prostitution’?
Anyway.
Many non-married couples were caught in non-star hotels, registered before being sent home, and the hotels were also searched for alcoholic drinks, as part of the enforcement of 2005 bylaws banning adultery, premarital sex and alcohol. Bear in mind that these same bylaws practically forbid female citizens to walk alone at night in fear of suspicion of prostitution.
A city public order agency official states that these actions are to avoid Tangerang becoming into a city of prostitution and alcoholic beverage sales, keeping in line with the city’s motto, “good morals”.
Well, I’m no advocate of alcohol or premarital sex, but seriously, aren’t there more serious issues to handle? Like, real crime?

They could only act on things they were in control (or at least, they thought they were in control). So, instead of dealing with the problem they could not control or act upon it, like real crime, traffic jam and unemployment, they did the most ‘controllable’ action.
Of course making money on the side by getting paid for “protection” was a nice additional income, kinda like 1930′s Mafia…
