Polluting company berates residents<\/p>\n
West Java Governor H. Nuriana has rebuked PT Insang Sandang
\nbecause the waste it generates has polluted Rancaekek, Bandung
\nand its surrounding areas.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, when Rancaekek residents came to the office of
\nPT Insang Sandang to convey to H. Benyamin, the company's general
\naffairs manager and also assistant director, a letter signed by
\nJaja Dipraja, chairman of the community of farmers and fish
\nbreeders in Linggar Rancaekek, Bandung, and Open Afandi, the
\nsecretary, they were roughly berated and then driven out of his
\noffice.<\/p>\n
Then Benyamin, through Pak Muin, head of the intelligence unit
\nof Sumedang Police, threatened to arrest Jaja Dipraja and Open
\nApandi.<\/p>\n
As a matter of fact, the security guard on duty permitted the
\nresidents to see Benyamin at his office. Later, while driving the
\nLinggar Rancaekek residents out of his office, Benyamin said that
\nhe had scolded the security guard in the presence of Ayi Mahfudin
\nof the company's field division.<\/p>\n
He also said that he had reported Jaja Dipraja and Open Afandi
\nto the police and that these two men would be arrested and
\ndetained in prison. He added that Muin was now hunting down these
\ntwo persons.<\/p>\n
Benyamin also told Linggar Rancaekek residents that the
\nletters sent to the governor and the President were not written
\nby Linggar Rancaekek residents and were therefore considered
\nillegal. Are all this true?<\/p>\n
We are writing this letter, therefore, to call on the police
\nand the authorities not to arrest residents of Linggar Rancaekek,
\nBandung because their arrest will have an adverse impact on the
\npolice force itself and on PT Insang Sandang.<\/p>\n
It must be remembered that this is the time for reform and
\nthat intimidating residents must be a thing of the past. It is no
\nlonger the time when people are considered ignorant. Neither is
\nit the time to arrest residents simply because of their critical
\nattitude.<\/p>\n
If the police insist on arresting these two men, they will
\nhave to deal with the local residents, so said a resident who
\nprefers to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n
In fact, the local residents have only one wish, namely that
\nall factories located around Rancaekek must not dispose of their
\nliquid waste at any place as this will disadvantage the farmers
\nand fish breeders in Linggar.<\/p>\n
If PT Insang Sandang does not think that they have disposed of
\ntheir liquid waste at any place, Benyamin, the general affairs
\nmanager and assistant director, must remain coolheaded when
\ndealing with Linggar residents. This way the residents will feel
\nat ease.<\/p>\n
