Bogor car dealers operate illegally

BOGOR (JP): Many automotive dealers and showrooms may be operating illegally in Bogor, the acting spokesman of Bogor city administration, Anas S. Rasmana, said yesterday.

"We are currently gathering information on the number of dealers and showrooms, which have been licensed by the city administration," he said.

Anas warned that stern measures could be taken against illegal dealers at any time.

Harun Sutisna from the Bogor Automotive Dealers Association said that many dealers were possibly still in the process of registering their businesses.

"The association has 177 members at present, but only 80 to 90 of them are active," he said. (24)
