Blacking out schools 'unwise'

AMBON, Maluku: Ambon municipal council speaker lashed out at
electricity company PLN on Wednesday for cutting power supply to
27 schools.

Council speaker Lucky Wattimury said the council understood
that the schools had not paid their bills, but advised the
company to act wisely.

"Electricity is needed by schools for student activities, and
the final exams are approaching. They need electricity. Without
it, they can't operate," Lucky told The Jakarta Post on
Wednesday.

PLN staff went to some of the schools on Wednesday to cut off
their power. -- JP
