I smell some taxes and corruption coming.

Street vendors are not irrelevant in domestic economic development. The circulation of money reaches billions of rupiah per day and ordinary people can buy what they need at affordable prices.

Taxes? Sure, every citizen must pay tax. If not, Indonesia will experience Greece’s syndrome.

Corruption? We have the KPK to curb corruption.
