The mayor of Malang Sutiaji said that the development of the Malang Heritage area was marked by the closure of the protocol road.

“Yesterday (the closure of the road) was postponed, because there are still issues to be negotiated with business actors,” said Sutiaji, in Malang, on Tuesday (11/10/2020).
