Correction: In the article [i]Businesspeople concerned by govt

Correction: In the article Businesspeople concerned by govt economic performance published on Thursday, we misquoted Stanley Lee as saying ".... (the tax officials) are just trying to blackmail taxpayers...". Mr. Lee responds: "Our factory has been in operation for 30 years in Jakarta and we are facing problems with tax regulations concerning the bonded zone. We have been advised that because of conflicting interpretations, we have been penalized and must pay Rp 2.6 billion. From where do we get this money to pay, because most of our overseas customers are operating within the bonded zone and are tax free." We apologize for the error.
