Factions ordered to return cars

TANGERANG: Tangerang regency administration demanded on Monday that four of 11 factions at the regency council return their official cars soon.

"The factions will end their working period within a few days but as of today only seven have returned their cars," Tangerang Regent Ismet Iskandar said.

He said that the administration had requested in writing that the four faction chairmen return their official cars to the administration.

The four are the Crescent Star Party (PBB), United Development Party (PPP), Nation Awakening Party (PKB) and the Nation Mandate Party (PAN) factions.

PAN faction chairman Abdul Wahid said he had received the regent's letter but the faction had yet to return the car because it was still being used by a faction member.

PBB faction chairman Abdul Muin Basuni and the PKB faction chairman, Samsudin, could not be reached for comment. -- JP
