Bank Andromeda vs. government

I refer to the article 'Integrity at stake in bank closure aftermath' (Nov. 12, 1997, page 1) by Laksamana Sukardi.

I am a regular reader of The Jakarta Post as it is the official paper at the Kartika Chandra and Shangri-La hotels.

First, I must congratulate and confirm the high quality of your articles by various analysts and the editorials on highlighted events. They are indeed excellent. If one were to compare them with some foreign news magazines, The Jakarta Post would still come out on top.

Your subject article is Solomonic in reasoning. It magnetizes the issues of all parties gravely and puts them in equal concern with each other. Indeed, a very difficult situation. And most promisingly should be settled out of court and amicably. But not to impress the IMF.

Thank you, and please continue to think and write again.
