Cheil improves waste processing

SURABAYA: Cheil Samsung Indonesia, a Korean food seasoning
company which became the target of violent demonstrations by
local residents for allegedly polluting the river last year,
announced yesterday it has "improved" its sewerage.

The company directors reported the improvement to East Java
Deputy Governor Abdul Hamid when the latter visited the company's
compound in Rejoso village, Pasuruan regency.

All waste conduits now end at a waste installation, rather
than going directly to the surrounding ditches or the Rejoso
River, Antara reported.

"We apologize to the local people," H.C. Hong, a director,
said. (swe)
