00:00 Indonesia is home to various beliefs where every religion has a respect for one another.
00:11 Religious tolerance is even enforced by law.
00:15 As stated in Article 29 of the 1945 Constitution, the state guarantees the freedom of each citizen
00:24 to embrace their own religion and worship according to what they believe.
00:30 This translates into everyday life.
00:33 For example, in Jakarta, where the Muslims are fasting, where they are obliged to restrain
00:39 eating, drinking, and other worldly desires, the state orders places associated with the
00:48 aforementioned activities to limit their operational working hours.
00:54 Nightclubs and bars will open only at 8.30pm and closes at 1.30am.
01:02 The provincial government of Jakarta ordered pubs, nightclubs, spas or men's health clubs
01:09 and restaurants to limit their operation during Ramadan, especially during daytime.
01:16 I'm happy to say that most of them adhere to the rules like what we've seen here in
01:22 Taman Sarisab district in West Jakarta.
01:26 They also got food stalls like this one who pay their respect to the people observing
01:32 Ramadan or fasting during the daytime by putting blinds in front of their stalls.
01:41 The provincial government of Jakarta has sent an advisory letter to owners of nightclubs
01:47 regarding operational working hours during Ramadan this year.
01:52 In the advisory letters lie seven types of businesses that need to adjust their operating
01:57 hours.
02:00 This includes nightclubs, discotheques, hospas, men's health clubs, game arenas, as well
02:07 as pubs and bars.
02:13 Meanwhile, restaurants are advised to put blinds or curtains during daytime.
02:26 But every day after around 5pm, the blinds are off and it means the operation of all
02:33 restaurants in Jakarta are back to normal to serve people, especially for Muslims who
02:40 are having their iftar.
02:42 I'm Adin Fatoni, Andres Aputra, for CETA Day.
02:50 Thank you.
