Pro and Contra Pasar Minggu Kota Bengkulu

Should government relocated bargainers from  Minggu market to  Baru Koto market?

                Traditional Market is the important  place for many people because in market we can see the bargainers meets the buyers. Every bargainers in market sell their goods to buyer who need goods. We can see traditioal market in every town has different from another traditional market in another  town. Talk about the traditional market, Bengkulu town has a traditional market too, People called Minggu market. Minggu market located on the KZ Abidin street near the main road of the town where the street is including as the most crowded place in the morning. The bargainers sell their goods along the street and the activity in Minggu market started from 2am where the bargainers sell many kind of fruits, vegetables, and traditional tools.

                Based on the  command from Mr. Helmi Hasan as the major of Bengkulu town, Minggu market will be relocated to Baru Koto market. The first reason why government should take relocation because this way will be taken to minimize crowded in the morning. Then, the relocation from government is very helpful in achiving the Major’s program “Bengkuluku Bersih”, this is because if the market will be relocated it mean the main road will clean from cabagges where produced from many activities in the market while the stinky smell will be dissapear through the clean enviroment. Last, not only focus to clean the cabagges, relocation will make the main road or downtown will be more organized and well ordered. If this program will be running, i think we will see the true downtown with clean enviroment and organized.

                In contra side, almost bargainers who sell their product there refuse the major’s program even they will be relocated to new place at Baru Koto market. They think this program will make them lose their buyers and lose their job. Their reason are make sense because if they will be moved to Baru Koto market, its mean their buyers will take long distance to get to the market and the buyers will be dislike to go there. Talk about Baru Koto, almost bargainers said if the place is not strategic because that place is far from the buyer and the trasportation to go there is very measly so it will difficult to get more buyer.

                Talk about the controversy in this problem, we can not blame The government or the bargainers and we can not choose who is right or not. I think if the program will be running, first thing what the goverment have to do is the  government should serve the place for bargainers based on what the bargainers needs like strategic place to sell or near to people. Second, serve the buyers and the bargainers with easy trasportation or accomodation. This is the important thing that we should remember because some buyers are come from long long place. Third, government should supervise the market start from controling the market, see the market performance and more sensitive toward the condition and situation. And the last one, the bargainers should keep the market clean, keep the market organized, and keep the market well ordered. This is very important for bargainers to make market enviroment still healthy and clean. If the bargainers can do some steps above, it will make buyers come and come.
