Valentine: Condom Sellers In Trouble In Indonesia

Stores selling condoms in an Island in Indonesia were on Tuesday raided by a mayor in the city in the spirit of Valentine day.

The mayor of Makassar, Mohammad Pomanto, complained while conducting survey around mini marts in the city that stores were selling condoms “like they were candy."

Pomanto said, "Valentine’s Day is a day of love but it doesn’t mean people can do anything in the name of love.

"It’s not about Valentine’s Day but it’s about moral degradation," he added.

Pomanto said stores that sold it freely to unmarried teenagers would have their permits revoked.

Last year, the mayor issued a circular mandating stores in the largest city in eastern Indonesia to sell condoms only to married people.
