A clothing trader appears to be sleeping in his quiet stall from visitors at the Tanah Abang market, Jakarta, Friday, January 25, 2013. Traders in Tanah Abang complained about the lack of buyers after the flood disaster that hit the capital of Jakarta since a week ago. If in one day the average turnover of fashion merchants in this region could reach 3-5 million rupiahs this week has not yet reached a turnover of 1 million rupiahs. Even in their first days of trading there were stalls that did not sell at all in one day. They estimate that their turnover will return to normal within the next one month based on their experience in previous years when Jakarta was hit by a flood. -JP / R. Berto Wedhatama / Adi / 19
DESCRIPTION (ID)
Seorang pedagang pakaian tampak tertidur di kiosnya yang sepi dari pengunjung di pasar Tanah Abang, Jakarta, Jumat 25 Januari 2013. Para pedagang di Tanah Abang mengeluhkan sepinya pembeli pasca bencana banjir yang melanda ibukota DKI Jakarta sejak sepekan lalu. Jika dalam satu hari rata-rata omset pedagang busana di kawasan ini bisa sampai 3-5 juta rupiah sudah sepekan ini belum juga mencapai omset 1 juta rupiah. Bahkan di hari-hari pertama mereka berdagang ada kios yang tidak laku sama sekali dalam satu hari. Mereka memperkirakan omset akan kembali normal dalam waktu satu bulan kedepan berdasar pengalaman mereka di tahun-tahun sebelumnya saat Jakarta terkena bencana banjir. -JP/R. Berto Wedhatama/Adi/19
