KCIC General Manager Corporate Secretary, Eva Chairunisa, stated that\nthe impact of the theft extends beyond material losses from the missing\ncables to include disruptions in passenger services.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope this disclosure serves as a lesson to the public so that\nthey do not commit or become involved in such actions,\u201d Eva said in\nBandung on Thursday.<\/p>\n
KCIC is supporting the Police in uncovering the case through\ninformation exchange and on-site assistance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe express our gratitude to all ranks of the Police who have\ncooperated until the entire network involved, from the perpetrators to\nthe receivers of stolen goods, has been uncovered. There will be no\ncompromise regarding actions that can endanger Whoosh operations,\u201d Eva\nstated.<\/p>\n
