Each town
has their own characteristic like a statue as city icon. City icon useful to
indicate the city where there is a history of the icon or the meaning implied
therein. Previously, Bekasi has a city icon is a Catfish Statue and Lute Pieces
Statue. Catfish Statue and Lute Pieces Statue was built in 1995 and in Regent
tenure Moch. Djamhari. He ordered that because he thought catfish an lute
pieces are produce and grown in Bekasi. Apparently the good wishes of Regents
was not necessarily good for the people. Most Bekasi people felt catfish statue
and lute pieces statue did not reflect Bekasi. According to their catfish is
not a good icon because catfish is a voracious beast and the price is cheap.
Lute pieces also including in cheap’s price. The point was its did not reflect
Bekasi. So Bekasi people did not agree with these icon and sent their protest
to Moch. Djamhari, Regent of Bekasi but not addressed. Eventually protest
addressed to Mr. Nonon Sonthani, Mayor of Bekasi.
Finally, released letter dated February 25th, 2001
which contained a decision that catfish statue and lute pieces statue
dismantled. Although existing demolition orders, the statue was not too
disturbing dismantled. One of the people named Damin Sada and while it still
existed as a village chief Sri Jaya, Tambun district, has others ideas. On
April 24th, 2002, Damin Sada came the Catfish Statue and burnt it.
Now catfish statue has turned into a large clock and a large buffer
specifically for advertising space.
