“We’re doing this to protect people. Illegal alcohol isn’t just dangerous to your health—it also leads to crime. We’ll keep doing these raids to make Yogyakarta safer and more peaceful,” he said.
And he’s right—unlicensed booze has been linked to everything from poisoning to street fights. No one wants that.
