Bogor celebrates 517th anniversary

BOGOR (JP): Different from many other activities held for
commemorations in previous years, the city of Bogor celebrated
its 517th anniversary on Thursday in a modest ceremony at City
Hall.

This year's celebration was marked only with the holding of a
plenary session by members of the Bogor Legislative Council and a
mass circumcision for 108 children of poor families.

In his speech, Bogor Mayor R. Iswara Natanegara warned Bogor
residents not to ruin unity and togetherness only because of
differences in choices for parties during Monday's general
election.

"Do not ruin good relations, which have been built for years,
only because of differences in the election," he said. (24)
