Black flag for the undisciplined

SAMARINDA, South Kalimantan: Governor H.M. Ardans said here
yesterday that he will launch a three-month program to discipline
local government offices by hoisting a black flag in front of
those found to be undisciplined.

The program would also include rewarding offices and public
servants performing well in their duties, Ardans, who was
represented by his deputy Suwarna AF, was quoted by Antara as
saying.

"The basis of the program (discipline) is the duty and
obligation of every public servant as servants of the people and
the country, and it should receive serious attention from all of
us," the governor said.

He said the move was part of a national program to boost the
National Discipline Drive, first launched by the government in
1995. (aan)
