Yogyakarta is one of the foremost cultural centers of Java, the seat of the mighty Javanese
empire of Mataram from which present-day Yogyakarta has the best inherited of traditions.
The city has a special charm that seldom fails to captivate the visitor. Gamelan, classical and
contemporary Javanese dances, leather puppets, theater, and other expressions of
traditional art will keep the visitor spellbound. Local craftsmen excel in arts such as batiks,
silver, and leather works. Next to the traditional, contemporary art has found fertile soil in
Yogya's culture-oriented society.

Yogyakarta is often called the main gateway to Central Java where it is geographically
located. It stretches from Mount Merapi to the Indian Ocean. There is daily air service to
Yogya from Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bali, regular train service, and easy accessibility by road.
Yogyakarta is commonly considered the modern culture of Central Java. It is a very lively city
and a shopper's delight. The main road, Malioboro Street, is always crowded and famous for
its night street food culture and street vendors. Many tourist shops and cheap hotels are
concentrated along this street or in the adjoining tourist area such Sosrowijayan Street.

The key attraction of Yogyakarta is 'Kraton' (the Sultan's Palace), the center of Yogya's
traditional life despite the advance of modernity; it still emanates the spirit of refinement,
which has been the hallmark of Yogya's art for centuries. This vast complex of decaying
buildings was built in the 18th century and is actually a walled city within the city with
luxurious pavilions in which the current Sultan still resides. Yogyakarta is also the only major
city with traditional 'Becak' (rickshaw-style) transport.

Topeng Monyet

Thousands of macaques are bred or captured from the wild to be used as street performers,
or known as “topeng monyet”. The macaques are used to perform street shows; wear funny
masks, ride bicycles, perform acrobatic moves, and do amusing things. However, such shows
should be banned for a few reasons.

First, topeng monyet is a kind of exploitation of monkeys for money. The monkeys are hung
from chains for long periods to train them to walk on their hind legs like humans. Their teeth
are extracted so they can’t bite and they are tortured to remain obedient. The monkeys are
often outfitted in dresses and cowboy hats and forced to carry parasols or ride tiny bikes. This
animal abuse will definitely hurt the monkeys.
 Second, the ban on masked monkey shows can help improve public order. Topeng monyet is
often performed when traffic is backed up at notoriously congested intersections. This will
disturb the sight and create traffic jams for many motorists or pedestrians who will slow
down to watch the shows.

Third, banning dancing monkeys is a necessary public health measure. It is important to

rescue the monkeys from street performances and help prevent diseases carried by the
monkeys.

The monkeys used in topeng monyet may not be healthy and may have the potential to some
diseases such as tuberculosis and hepatitis.

Considering the reasons stated above, topeng monyet should be banned for it exploits the
monkeys, causes traffic jams, and spreads illnesses such as tuberculosis and hepatitis.
