Rules dictate that in a toll road, you’re not allowed to carry passengers on a vehicle with an open bed.
And it’s so ironic that this is a toll road maintenance car. I suppose when you own something, you’re free to do anything, even at the risk of public safety. Good job, guys, good job!

Apparently, I wasn’t the only one with a harsh rant. A lot of people are protesting the less-than-spectacular nature of Lippo Village. And replying to one of the letters in mind, Mr. Gordon Benton — the Senior Executive – Architect, Urban Planner of PT Lippo Karawaci, Tbk. — said (unedited quote from the UPH’s Alumni Mailing List):
Dear P’xxxxxx,
You will get an answer from TMD, mentioning that Peter Freeman has already resigned and left suddenly, and that a Town Manager replacement will be appointed shortly. We hope that communications with the Residents and Commercial interests in the town will soon be reestablished to the previous level of efficiency.
We are all aware of the traffic problems, made worse because of the coming motor racing through the streets of the town. Every day we are experimenting with the traffic, which is often quite unpredictable, and doing our best to solve each crisis as it arises. For sure there will be congestion over this weekend, but I hope that everyone will be understanding and limit car travel to the minimum. The Gerbang Timur will be opened tomorrow, which will allow students and residents to come from Sepong Toll, BSD and Gading Sepong and enter LV without going through the CBD and the racing area. It is planned that all this will be signposted.
We all hope that you and all the townsfolk in Lippo Village will see the international exposure of our town on the TV screens around Indonesia and the World as something wonderful for Indonesia as well as our lovely small town. Thank you for your information, and we hope that we will keep the inconvenience to you all to a minimum.
With Regards,
Gordon Benton
Notice the words marked in bold? Yes, he actually wrote that, I kid you not. As of now, we all should start reminding ourselves constantly that the Sep… I mean Serpong Toll is now the Blowjob Toll, and that during high traffic, there might be Pay-Per-View sex clips, which you can watch if you’re bored. What would Lippo Village develop next? Porn movies?
