overnor Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama has expressedhis disapproval over a controversial bikini party allegedly involving highschool students.
'No, they can't hold a bikini party. They could get arrested. There's a regulation governing that. You can wear bikini at Ancol [beach], as you swim. [...] But if you go to a party dressed in a bikini, it's outrageous,' Ahok said on Thursday.
The bikini party, dubbed 'Splash After Class', made a splash on the Internet after the invitation, including in video format, circulated on social media. The event, which was initially slated to be held at 10 p.m. on Saturday, invited students from high schools in Greater Jakarta, supposedly as a post-national examinations party. The national exams for high school students were held from April 13 to 15.
Ahok then claimed that the students were not responsible for the party. 'There's an event organizer that invited the students to come. We have sent letters to all the schools stating that their students can't attend such a party,' he said. (fsu)
