\"It's our new business. We just opened it on May 5,\" Susi said

\nservices' here ... we strongly denounce such things,\" in an
\napparent reference to the reputation that many massage parlors
\ncum brothels have.<\/p>\n
Susi and Elizabeth even put a Christian cross on the wall in
\nthe entrance way.<\/p>\n
\"We intentionally put it there so people don't have to ask us
\nthat same question again,\" Elizabeth said.<\/p>\n

\nbusy taking care of her three children and helping husband Alan
\nBudikusuma run their distribution business of their own racket

\nCentral Jakarta.<\/p>\n
To attract customers, they have distributed leaflets to
\npassersby, called on other former shuttlers and their friends to
\ntry the service at the new health spa.<\/p>\n
\"We guarantee that the service here is good,\" Susi said. \"This
\nis our business so we can survive ... We've had to work hard
\nbecause the government does not provide us (badminton players)
\njobs or pensions,\" she jokingly said, followed by a burst of
\nlaughter from Elizabeth. -- JP<\/p>\n
