Hundreds of becak (three-wheeled pedicab) drivers park their cycles
in front of the United Nations offices during a protest in Jakarta. The
becak drivers, who are forbidden from operating on major thoroughfares in
the city, are appealing to the International Labour Organization (ILO) for
help. [Here we see that like Bangladeseh rickshas, some seatbacks are
decorated with pictures. Visible in this picture are a glamorous woman and a skull, and lettering that's probably advertising. J.K.]
