          Catfish statue is icon Bekasi (1995-2002). Catfish statue is actually shaped like a catfish and wild mangosteen, but more commonly known as the Statue of catfish. The Catfish and wild mangosteen Statue was built in 1955 by an order from the local Regent, Moch. Djamhari. He felt catfish and wild mangosteen very suitable to be used as icon because the two crops are growing rapidly in Bekasi.
          But people think different, the statue is considered less appropriate become icons because catfish is a voracious fish and wild mangosteen is a very cheap fruit. Finally on April 24, 2002, some people came and burn the statue. After that, catfish statue has replaced by the big clock with large buffer for ads space.
