Bogor military has new chief

BOGOR, West Java (JP): The Bogor regency has a new military
chief, Lt. Col. Widji Utomo, who has vowed to punish soldiers
found frequenting nightspots or dealing in illegal drugs.

"There will be no special treatment for those who violate the
law," he told The Jakarta Post yesterday.

He said the first step to be taken will be an internal
investigation. The next step will be to monitor the activities of
discos, hotels and other places suspected of being used for drug
deals.

Bogor has reportedly become a common place for Ecstasy
transactions, he said. "I've received information that a
nightspot in Cisarua is currently being used for drug-related
activities."

Utomo was installed as the new Bogor military chief on
Wednesday, replacing Lt. Col. Agus Mulyadi, who has been given a
new post with the Udayana Military Command in Bali.

Utomo, who graduated from the Military Academy in 1976, has
held several posts in the Pattimura Military Command in Maluku
province, and the Siliwangi Military Command in West Java.

The father of three children, Utomo was born in Pontianak,
West Kalimantan, on Aug. 11, 1953. (21/25)
