Awards for good services

BOGOR (JP): PDAM Bogor water company and the Bogor branch of West Java Province-owned Bank (BPD) have been awarded Abdi Satya Bhakti awards for their achievements in services.

The awards, which were handed over by President Soeharto at the State Palace yesterday, were paraded around Bogor by Bogor Mayor Eddy Gunardi earlier in the day.

It is the third Abdi Satya Bhakti award PDAM Bogor has won since 1995, and BPD Bogor's first, Eddy said.

Eddy hoped the award presentations would help promote the work ethics of all employees of the Bogor mayoralty. "Hopefully such ethics can be maintained by all employees," he said.

PDAM Bogor's president, Daslim Saibi, said his company, which has about 30,000 customers, constitutes one of the major revenue contributors to the mayoralty.

"In the 1996/1997 fiscal year alone, the company's revenue contribution reached about Rp 1.7 billion (US$641,500)," he said. (24/04)
