Bulungan Complex for sports, arts

JAKARTA: Head of the City Sports and Youth Agency, Yudhi
Suyoto, asserted over the weekend that the Bulungan Youth Sports
Complex in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, will not be open to
outside business activities.

"The complex will only provide facilities for sports and arts.
There won't be any business activities here," he said, responding
to the city administration's plan to renovate the complex this
week.

Yudhi refuted rumors that the administration has cooperated
with Klub Sejuta Foundation to manage the complex after the
renovations.

The administration has planned to self-finance the complex's
operational costs by opening a minimarket, a beauty parlor and a
boutique in the complex. It has become one of the most popular
places to hang-out for high school students.

Yudhi said that the Sejuta Foundation -- which has used part
of the complex for youth activities -- would need to renew their
contract in March 2004 instead of the original 2006.

"And we won't lease rooms for business," he added. -- JP
