Comment: A solution to traffic jams

A- A A+

Oct. 3, p.1: Traffic jams are expected to vanish throughout Indonesia once a new edict by a leading agency takes effect. The surprise fatwa from the MUI (Motorcyclists’ Union of Indonesia) was announced just before mudik, the annual pilgrimage to hometowns and parents undertaken by many Indonesians at the end of the slowing month. MUI secretary Bangbang Twostroke said the fatwa prohibited the use of cars, which were now haram. (By Duncan Graham)

Your comments:

A great morning story with lots of humor, after all these horrible stories of intolerance, riots and corruption!
Duncan Graham, you wrote a satirical piece that hits the nail on the head, which, I guess, was intended!
Hope to see soon other excellent articles from you
By the way, I simply had to copy that one to keep it!

At first glance I thought this was a real story. I went back to read it again. I love the satire. Great work D. Graham
