Guess What? Marissa haque<\/p>\n
Actress and founder of the local production house PT Rana
\nArtha Mulia, Marissa Haque, says she has more to celebrate than
\nthe debut of her teleserial production, Antara Jakarta Dan Perth
\n(Between Jakarta and Perth), to be broadcast on private TV
\nstation RCTI in the middle of next month.<\/p>\n
She joined several parents of children enrolled in a
\nprestigious school in Bintaro, Tangerang, in a protest against
\nthe school's policy of charging fees at the market rate for the
\nU.S. dollar.<\/p>\n
And they got their way when the school backtracked on its
\ndecision.<\/p>\n
\"I had to sell a car to get both daughters -- aged 9 and 10
\nrespectively -- into the school. Now, we are paying school fees
\nat Rp 5,000 per dollar,\" Marissa said.<\/p>\n
\"We could not afford to pay if it (the school) was to go by
\nthe market rate.\"<\/p>\n
The registration fee per child is Rp 20 million, plus Rp 1.4
\nmillion monthly in tuition.<\/p>\n
She said the school should understand the \"plight\" of ordinary
\nparents trying to survive the crisis, even if \"grandchildren of
\nthe President or tycoons study there ...\"<\/p>\n
She added that neither \"the President's children nor tycoons
\nwere among those who protested against the fee dilemma\". (02)<\/p>",
