All of the above aside, one item which worried me was the fact that one of Jakarta’s busiest Malls was the site of a gangland turf war with members of “Basri” and a rival gang “Milton” hammering it out with each other in Cilandak Town Square, otherwise known a CITOS.
Samurai Swords, Cleavers and other assorted weaponry were used as what was termed a gathering at the Brew & Co Cafe to celebrate their peace agreement erupted into a scene from Apocalypse Now.
Hilarious!

Glad you enjoyed... Still a little concerning considering the circumstances leading up to the event.
Are you in Indonesia right now ?
Well ... at least you learn something before you join our lovely FPI :-D
Dilligaf, yeh the circumstances leading up to the brawl are disturbing. But that Indonesian Police for you! I wouldn't expect anything less.
Tere, nope I'm in Ireland. That's why I can laugh at these things I suppose. No willingness to join the FPI either :):)
thieves roam certain malls (one that my office building is in) and security personnels aren't willing to do much about it; it's better to settle things "peacefully" and let thugs and victims go their own way, that's what i heard.
hmph.
plus the whole riffraff of 'to disband or not to disband' FPI is a big joke ..
really? well good to see that the outside world can reach into the heart of the mall world!!
