BANJARMASIN, South Kalimantan: A district court in Banjarmasin
fined two food stall owners for opening their businesses during
Ramadhan.

Opening a restaurant during the daytime in Ramadhan violates a
bylaw that recently took effect in the province, said presiding
judge M. Yusuf.

Misnawati and Hudari were fined Rp 25,000 and Rp 10,000
respectively. The fine was far below the maximum Rp 5 million
stated in the bylaw. Responding to the verdict, Hudari said that
he apologized, but Misnawati argued that she was not aware of the
bylaw as she is illiterate. -- Antara
