In the past when he was little, on Jalan Pasar Kembang it was crowded with jasmine-class hotels.

With makeshift language, the motel keeper tried to explain the shortcut to Mark and Smack. "Turn left, turn right and go," the guard explained to both. Mike and Smack nodded. They immediately rushed towards the direction of Tugu Station.  Out of the alley filled with motels, the two Caucasians then traced Jalan Sosrowijayan. They turn right in the narrow alley next to the Grage Hotel towards the station. Both of them then entered the alley which was only lit by dim lights. At the end of the alley a lot of parked motorcycles dragged. But only entered about 30 meters at the end of the alley, the two travelers were dismissed by two men. They sat facing the table with a petal-like box with the words 'Hygiene Fund'. "You must pay ... You must pay in here ..." the man in a half-jacketed jeans said as he stood up. Mark and Smack looked at each other. Both of them did not understand the intent of the two men. Moreover, the two men asked for payment when crossing the alley. "How much?" Mark said in a high tone. "Just two thousand mawon. Two thousand ..." said the thug-acting man, smiling as he learned that the two Caucasians had chosen the "peaceful" path. He also raised two fingers to clarify the intention of two thousand to the two 'prey'. Not wanting to argue much, both of them handed over a five-thousand-rupiah bill. They were then invited across the road where the road was increasingly conical. "Don't just pass by, stop by too, sir. Hahahahaha," said the other man holding the box where the money was. The narrow alley does require every adult male to pay Rp. 2,000. The illegal retribution applies only at night for every passing pedestrian. To trick them, they usually refer to cleaning money. I don't know what that means, but every pedestrian must be forced to give money. The person who first came to know the function of cleaning money if he had entered about 50 meters in the mouth after passing the turn. As soon as you enter deeper, you can see women in sexy clothes sitting in the hallway doors or house windows. Dangdut and pop music shout at each other at the door of the room. In those rooms they also display women. To the men who passed by, the women gave a smile. The solicitation came from men who served as pimps. "Mampir Mr. Cakep-cakep, very beautiful. You must like. Stop by first, look around first," said a man while accompanying the two Caucasians. But Mark and Smack ignored. Both of them actually accelerated his footsteps. Out of the mouth of the alley and arrived at Jalan Pasar Kembang, both seemed to be relieved and breathed deeply. Half joking both then rushed to Tugu Station. The narrow alleys between Sosrowijayan Street and Flower Market are indeed not as busy as they were. Slowly prostitution in Sarkem is almost dead. Even so, stretching until now still exists. "Not much, not up to 40 prostitutes in the aisles. In the past it wasn't even in the alley, on Jalan Pasar Kembang. That's why it's called Sarkem, Pasar Kembang," said Nardi, a pedicab driver who used to look for passengers on Jalan Pasar Kembang . According to Agus, a resident in one of the aisles, the existence of starred hotels has gradually turned off the stretch of prostitution in Sarkem. In the past when he was little, on Jalan Pasar Kembang it was crowded with jasmine-class hotels that were used as 'execution' venues. But now the number of starred hotels with towering buildings has even made the Sarkem writhe fade. Sarkem's impression of being dirty, dirty, dirty and negative was eroded by the existence of elite hotels. The high price of hotels on Jalan Pasar Kembang has made the location of prostitution abandoned by its customers. "My grandmother is happy to be removed (prostitution in Sarcasm) so that I am healthy. Wong, I also do not work there, I can't get money from the Sararkem. Instead, it suffers from the gum, which lives in this region. , it turns out in Gang Sarkem, "he said. The Department of Social Affairs of Manpower and Transmigration of the City of Yogyakarta has been asked to prepare data on problems and review of solutions by the Ministry of Social Affairs. This is related to the Ministry of Social Affairs' plan to close Sararkem. "This year, we were asked to carry out data collection and problems in this localization. A solution study will be proposed next year," said Head of the Yogyakarta City Office of Manpower and Transmigration Hadi Muchtar mid last year. According to Hadi, the request was related to the Ministry of Social's plan to close 167 localization in several regions in Indonesia. The localization of the Flower Market, he continued, is indeed an unofficial status so it is not included in the ministry's closing priority. However, they must be prepared. Hadi added, his party would involve local residents in the process of collecting data on problems faced in Kembang Market, so that the solution to be applied later could be comprehensive. "Of the several mentoring activities that have been carried out so far, many residents expect capital assistance so that they no longer undergo that profession," Hadi said. But until now the news of the closure of Sarkem faded again.
