andung Mayor Ridwan Kamil criticized citizens responsible for damaging public facilities used in the 60th anniversary of the Asian-African Conference Commemoration (AACC)in Bandung last week, calling them "uncivilized".
"This shows that Bandung citizens are not yet grown up. Some of us are uncivilized, unable to appreciate the hard work of fellow citizens," Ridwan said on Monday.
Damages included the disappearance of flags of AACC participating countries as well as iron plates with their names. Flowers, pots and three benches were broken as well.
"I previously hoped that all would be under control, that nothing would be stolen," he said in Bandung as quoted by kompas.com.
Ridwan said he hoped Bandung residents would view the damage and vandalism as a a catalyst for creating a more beautiful, responsible city. (++++)
