ACB Post | Jakarta city termacet and filled with buskers. Almost every Public Transport (public transportation) there are singers in this city. The songs they sing assortment, ranging from song to song aspiration to revolution. Indirectly buskers in Jakarta there who wish that life is more than singers. Whatever the reason they have made public transportation as a public space to convey the aspirations of the life of the grassroots.

At one time we ride a public transportation with the aim of Pasar Senen to Bekasi, when he reached the mid-way of a musician that we were riding up the public transportation. He did not like the previous singers who had a guitar and some even have capital karokean. But these singers are very different, he did not have a guitar and a capital of only the hands and mouths. Actually the song he sang we did not hear it. Because noisy with the sounds of other passengers, though only 7 passengers at the time.

 After he finished his song, he's a little lecture about himself and once again we did not care about her. After that he goes to ask for money to passengers. When it comes to a young boy, he had asked her as the previous passengers were a bit pushy. But this young man just smiled when she asked for her money. "Mas appreciate our bit! We are also human, not a monkey. We only ask for a meal is not for rich Mas ". Stressed the singers to the young man.

But once again the young man's just smiled and replied, "Abang sit down here" while pointing the empty chair beside him. The pengamenpun he sits in the invite, because the singers saw the young man pulled out his wallet. "Abang had said, asking for money to eat it not for the rich. But brother wrong, I've had two days without food, but I can go to college and we want to return to Tambun to Komunitas friend to be able to debts first before getting to work. " Replied the young man with a voice a little sad.
           
Singers just stay quiet and not say anything. He continued his conversation with the musician. "Abang was brave, I offer my congratulations to my brother. I am a preacher here and had internships in several areas perdalaman in Indonesia. So I know that the hand above it is better than below. That's why I did not complain to anyone for my situation today. But as a preacher I am aware, may god this time again mnguji me. It is no money in the purse of 10,000 rupiah. Abang take 2,000 and 8,000 more for this I pay public transportation. "
           
The singers mengabil sheet of two thousand it, and hurried away. Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia. But unfortunately a lot of people starving there. But that was nothing compared children in Palestine, Syria and other komplik. The singers still have a public space to express their aspirations and their life circumstances. But bangaimana with children educated as a young student of propaganda earlier.
           
He has no public space to express their aspirations and inspiration to many people. Although there is a public space name is also Ustadz definitely purse contained, and highly inappropriate if the cleric is also working to beg like pengemen, with a capital of lectures, for example. Although many singers, but has adequate public space to be accepted by the community circumstances are generous. Although there are several public transportation also prohibits singers, like Transjakarta, Kopaja and Kareta Fire.

The public spaces are still available for the singers then they should not force people to ask for money, because at the same time there was among the passengers who suffer more than pengamn itself. They do not want love not because stingy but again emergency, perhaps his son was ill, maybe she again untang and many others. It should have been a consideration to the singers.
           
Jakarta, which many will be building the building but not the little children who melahan hunger and thirst. To convey the aspiration of the people under the government seharus create a public space for them. Not laws against criticism issued. But the public space to the public all of society. So that all the wishes of the people can be fulfilled and supervised by public rung proficiency level. Hopefully Jakarat city will get better in the future and no longer term, "a wicked-wicked stepmother even worse capital".
