Text your say: No raids during Ramadhan

Y

em>Your comments on the warning made by the Jakarta Police to activists from all organizations not to carry out raids on nightlife establishments during Ramadhan as the police would crackdown on businesses that violated regulations:

Let us see how many of the radical groups will listen to the warning.

Rojak

I think this is the time for the police to gain its trust from society. Allowing any organization to
carry out raids, not only causes unrest in the community but also violates the law, which is the most
important element in our democratic nation.

Timur Pratama Wiradarma

I do not think supporting raids is either ethically or morally justifiable.

If one supports morality they should do it through ethically justifiable means.

Jonathon Lock

I believe that the police warning is an issue for law enforcement, but it should be followed by firm implementation.

Some organizations which have many followers may ignore the regulation.

So the police should handle the issue, otherwise the public may lose faith in the police.

At the same time, nightlife businessmen should be more understanding of the situation during Ramadhan.

Don'€™t just think about money. Please be respectful to religious activities, even though to open your business is your right.

Respect for other religion'€™s activities is one of the Indonesian values that must be maintained.
