Will the real prostitutes please stand up, then stand down

Endy M. Bayuni, Jakarta

Something seems to be amiss in the current nationwide crackdown on prostitution.

Tangerang municipality is leading the charge by rounding up women walking alone in main streets past newly imposed curfew hours, but Jakarta and other major cities have also been raiding locations allegedly used as brothels. Needless to say, these campaigns get massive coverage by the ever news-hungry media, with female prostitutes the main focus, to send a clear message that the authorities are serious about fighting vice.

Waged in the name of stopping society's moral decay and saving the nation's young from moral bankruptcy, one is left to wonder if the campaign is missing the real targets.

Commercial sex workers who sell their bodies for a few hundred thousand to a few million rupiah are certainly a menace, and if they operated in your neighborhood, you'd probably want them removed too, and thus you would wholeheartedly support the campaign.

But let's be honest with ourselves. These streetwalkers are not the only ones who are selling their bodies and souls for financial or material gain in this country. Since they work in hiding to evade the authorities, they are not even the most visible of all prostitutes, either.

No. There are bigger prostitutes -- bigger fish for the authorities to catch if they are serious about wiping out prostitution. And a lot of the time, these prostitutes do their deeds so blatantly that it is really just a matter of political will for the authorities to round them up.

Prostitution is usually defined as the sale of sexual services, but the online encyclopedia Wikipedia says: "In a more general sense of the word, anyone selling his/her services for a cause thought to be unworthy can be described as prostituting him/herself."

Going by this wider definition, we can think of many other people in various forms of employment who are engaging in the world's oldest profession:

* The elected politicians who betray the people's mandate by continually claiming to work for the people when they are really just serving their personal and political interests.

* The appointed officials and bureaucrats who, instead of acting as the servants of the people, make the people their servants while enriching themselves.

* The intellectuals who sell their minds and thoughts to provide scholarly justifications for laws and policies that are clearly detrimental to the interests of the people.

* The ulemas and priests who willingly give a religious cloak to laws and regulations that suppress people's freedoms and rights.

* The journalists who betray the public trust and fill the media with lies and half-truths to mislead the people.

True to the wider definition of prostitution, they are selling services for causes thought to be unworthy. And there is no cause more unworthy than corruption.

These, and many other people in different professions, are the real hardcore prostitutes and thus the real menace to society. Their corrupt and perverted conduct poses a much more serious threat to the nation's morals than the simple sexual services offered by streetwalkers.

Most streetwalkers enter the profession not by choice but because of economic pressures. 11 million people in this country out of job (according to unreliable official statistics) and 30 million others are underemployed. For many, prostitution is the only available means of survival.

Such justification cannot be used by the elite members of society who willingly and knowingly sell their soul and services, and sometimes their body too, for profit, material or otherwise. Their only reason for prostituting themselves is greed.

And they are doing it in the open for all to see. Corruption is so rampant that our children, whose future we are all concerned about, are so exposed to such practices at early age that some grow up to accept them as normal.

Moral decadence is indeed a big problem in this country, but moral hypocrisy is an even bigger problem since we tolerate the bigger and more dangerous type of prostitution.

Condemn prostitution in the name of morality, but it's the bigger and more menacing prostitutes that deserve to be pilloried.

Police raid massage parlors


JAKARTA: The West Jakarta Police raided three massage parlors on Saturday evening and arrested 110 people for allegedly being involved in the sex industry.

The detainees included alleged prostitutes, and the owners and employees of massage parlors Madonna in Mangga Besar, Serba Sehat in Hayam Wuruk and Royal in Komplek Kota Indah.

"We deployed 150 of our officers to raid these places," said West Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Edward Syah Pernong, adding that the three massage parlors had been temporarily closed.

The police freed the alleged prostitutes on Sunday but charged the massage parlor owners under the Criminal Code with facilitating prostitution.

"They could face four years in prison if found guilty," Edward said.

"We promise that we will continue with our efforts to eradicate prostitution within our jurisdiction," he added. -- JP

Referred to as the world's oldest profession, some argue that prostitution will only stop when sex does.

The Tangerang municipal council strongly disagrees. It endorsed a bylaw on prostitution three months ago to shut down the sex industry.

For a time, streets like Jl. Otista, Jl. Gatot Subroto and Jl. Merdeka, which are habitually frequented by sex workers, were much quieter.

Predictably, the women returned, but they have become ghosts of their former selves.

On Wednesday evening, The Jakarta Post observed most of the sex workers had abandoned their skintight jeans, strapless tops and bright slashes of eye shadow. The idea is to pass unnoticed by public order officers.

'Surya', 25, and many other women were rounded up last month by pubic order officers for soliciting and fined Rp 500,000 (about US$53).

When the Post stopped to talk to her on Jl. Merdeka, Surya said the women working the street were aware there was a bylaw but had not seen a copy of it.

Like most sex workers, Suryanti is in it for the money. She knows the nightly patrols by public order officers will not stop.

"No law will stop me from doing what I do. So long as I have money, I can always pay the fine. My fate rests in God's hands,

"I can only earn money like this, what other options are open to me?" she said.

Following her arrest, the quick-witted Suryanti abruptly modified her look. Now she wears long, thick dresses and a smear of lipstick.

"I work in places where I can get out fast if I see a patrol car," she said.

The sex workers on Jl. Otista are also trying another tack. They use the fruit sellers scattered along the street as a cover.

"If officers come and the girls see no way out, they'll claim to be the wives of the fruit sellers," said Marwani, a motorcycle taxi driver who operates in the area.

Novi Ariyanti, a 23-year-old sex worker, who usually waits for clients at a bus shelter on Jl. Gatot Subroto in Cimone, has made a more drastic change to her appearance.

She now wears Muslim dress -- covering her neck, ears, hair, chest and body shape -- and a headscarf.

"With my new look, I am earning more money because men these days are more interested in women wearing jilbab (headscarves)," she said.

Novi charges clients between Rp 200,000 and Rp 500,000.

"C'mon honey, for you it's just Rp 150,000, and we'll go to hotel Anggrek, at Rp 75,000 a night it's cheaper than Hotel Merdeka," she said in a final effort to persuade the Post.

Yes, its safe and the gals are not affected. Polisi will think twice before checking/raiding 4/5 star hotels. Will have a lot of implications.

Bro for infor....

My Customer's friends.... 5 or 4 of them were playing cards in a Ruko.... Just friends.... Somehow... got raided....

All went in and police asked for 700 million in order that they may be release.... These people do have the money but find it stupid to pay so much for such a small offence... Thus they are still inside since one month back...

Further discussion with police throught some contact... 700 million is fixed.. The best the police would help is to ensure the case goes to court ASAP so that these people could be released.......

Fine is expected to be around 200 million......

So be very careful these day of what u do ya......

Police arrest 48 in gambling raids

JAKARTA: Forty-eight people were arrested during a series of gambling raids Tuesday in West Jakarta, the local police chief said.

"They (the suspects) were caught betting on illegal lotteries (togel) and playing cards in several underground casinos," Sr. Comr. Edward Syah Pernong said Wednesday.

Edward said officers also confiscated gambling machines, hundreds of sets of playing cards and togel coupons.

He promised more raids on locations allegedly being used as gambling dens, including malls and office buildings.

"We want to get the gambling bosses, not just the small-time players. We will continue our gambling eradication operations," Edward said. --JP

West Java legislator caught gambling

National News - March 17, 2006

BANDUNG, West Java: Police arrested a West Java legislator and two others for gambling at a private residence Tuesday.

"We received information that the house is often used for gambling and we have been observing it every night for the past two weeks," said Adj. Comr. Deden Nugraha of the Bandung Police on Thursday.

Police detained Imam Wahyudi, a West Java legislative councillor, Tumpal Sirait, a retired civil servant, and Baban, a building contractor. They seized two decks of cards and Rp 550,000 (US$59.45) cash as evidence.

"Given how little money was found, they might have just started gambling," said Deden.

Imam proclaimed his innocence. He said he got caught in a traffic jam on the way home from a soccer game, and simply decided to stop at a friend's house.

He said police raided the house shortly after his arrival. "I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and went to the police station to show my good intentions," said Imam. -- JP
