Smoking, however, is banned, and so are street musicians.

Padang Public Order Agency officers (Satpol PP)

Satpol PP conducted raids on restaurants that
were open during the day in the fasting month of Ramadan.


Satpol PP found 10 restaurants that were open, but

that failed to announce they only served non-Muslims.

The raid was conducted in the Pondok area, from x, y, and z to Jl. Klenteng.
Indonesian Muslims are observing Ramadan,
when they do not eat or drink from dawn until dusk.
"Our officers immediately put banners on these restaurants.

 Writing on the banner reads: "Only for the non-Muslims."

Located in West Sumatra, Padang is a Muslim-majority city.

Al Amin argued that the raid was justified by a circular issued by Padang's mayor.

Padang Mayor ordered that restaurants should only open close to the hour
when people would break their fasts.

 In daytime, he ordered, restaurants should close or only serve non-Muslims.

Places of entertainment, including karaoke centers, are also required to close during Ramadan.

"Those who are not fasting should respect those who do," he wrote.
if the restaurants remove the banners, they would be forced to close
and be sanctioned in other ways. (dev)
