        "content": "<p>HI fountain shuts down due to cut cable<\/p>\n<p>After keeping the whole affair silent for the last two weeks, the <br>\nJakarta administration claimed on Thursday that someone had tried <br>\nto steal a power cable attached to the giant fountain at the <br>\nHotel Indonesia traffic circle, and that was why it was not <br>\noperating.<\/p>\n<p>Assistant to the City Secretary for Development Affairs IGKG <br>\nSuena said that the alleged thieves, who have not been caught and <br>\nthere are no witnesses, had apparently tried to steal the main <br>\ncable that connects the power generator and the fountain's main <br>\npower board in a subterranean maintenance area.<\/p>\n<p>The alleged perpetrators were inexplicably unsuccessful in <br>\ntheir quest to take the cable, but did cut it and do enough <br>\ndamage for the fountain to fall silent.<\/p>\n<p>Suena's assumption of thieves being at fault was based on the <br>\nvalue of the power line. \"The cable alone is priced at more than <br>\nRp 100 million (US$10,846),\" he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He added that he would soon report the case to the City <br>\nSecretary, Ritola Tasmaya, so they could discuss where to get the <br>\nmoney to replace the damaged cable.<\/p>\n<p>But first, he said, the City Park Agency would have to find <br>\nout the cost of a new cable from the officials at the state <br>\nelectricity company PLN.<\/p>\n<p>The traffic circle is one of the capital's icons, and a <br>\nfavorite spot of demonstrations. The city administration spent Rp <br>\n14 billion to renovate it in 2002 and construct the lavish water <br>\nfountain.<\/p>\n<p>The beautification project was financed fully by private <br>\nsponsors, but caused a brief controversy because it was still <br>\nlisted as a budget item in the City budget.<\/p>\n<p>Critics also blasted the administration for putting more <br>\nattention to beautification projects over projects of greater <br>\nimpact to the public, like flood mitigation or poverty <br>\nalleviation. -- JP<\/p>",
