What’s Worse? Jakarta Bike Ban Or Jakarta Post Bad English!
The Jakarta administration and city police are decided on barring motorcycles from entering the city’s main thoroughfares – Jl. Sudirman, Jl. Gatot Subroto and Jl. Rasuna Said…
=====
Bad Jakarta bikers- I’m not fussed if they get banned from main roads, but I would be delighted if they were banned from sidewalks!

….in an attempt to reduce traffic congestion in the capital.
One assumes the Jakarta Post hack means they have decided to bar the bikes. The clumsy English gets no better.
A meeting between city officials on June 7 concluded about the need to ban motorcycles from the three main streets..
Does this poor scribbler mean they concluded there is a need?
And on it goes…
“…We are going to hold another meeting to discuss further about it,” Budiyanto said on Monday, declining provide details on the plan.
OMG!
Even my slothful teen students, back when I was an English teacher at one of Jakarta’s many language schools knew that you don’t discuss about things.

No wonder nobody takes the JP seriously.
I know my written English isnt up to much but I dont get paid to write!
Their owners still Gramedia the book burners?
They must make pots of of money from their big stores in malls so why cant they pay good enough wages to get people who can write good English?
