Official fired for drug trafficking<\/p>\n
TANGERANG (JP): Mayor HM Thamrin has temporarily dismissed a
\nlow-ranking employee at the Ciledug District Public Order office
\nfollowing a court decision finding him guilty of dealing shabu-
\nshabu (crystal methamphetamine).<\/p>\n
Head of the mayoralty's human resources division Eni Muniggar
\nsaid the man, Nasarudin, alias Joki, 40, would not receive his
\nmonthly salary and other allowances during his 18 months in jail.<\/p>\n
\"He has been found guilty by the court and therefore his
\nstatus as a government employee has also been revoked.<\/p>\n
\"We will decide later whether or not to reemploy him after he
\nhas served his time in prison,\" Eni said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The decision, Eni said, would be taken based on government
\nregulation number 32\/1980 on employee dismissal.<\/p>\n
Joki, who used to work at the state-run Sitanala Leprosy
\nHospital, also in Tangerang, and his younger brother, Zainal
\nAbidin, 35, were recently sentenced by the local district court
\nto 18 months in prison and fines of Rp 100,000 (US$13) each.<\/p>\n
Presiding judge Satria U.S. Gumai said the two had been found
\nguilty of distributing 1.75 grams of shabu-shabu. The sentences
\nwere six months higher than those demanded by prosecutor Mawardi
\nHasyim.<\/p>\n
Mawardi said both Nasarudin and Zainal had not yet been jailed
\nbecause they had lodged an appeal and asked for a pardon from the
\nPresident.<\/p>\n
\"I will send them to jail only after a final decision has been
\nreached,\" Mawardi said. (41\/06)<\/p>",
