City, UI to promote social discipline

JAKARTA (JP): The city administration and the University of Indonesia (UI) are now working together to produce an operational concept in order to boost the social discipline in Jakarta.

The city administration spokesman, Soesila Darmoadji, said in a press release made available to The Jakarta Post yesterday that the governor is hoping the concept will be applicably effective in promoting social discipline in the city.

The governor expected that the concept, which is being composed by the city administration officials as practitioners and UI academicians as scholars, will give a positive input into the existing concept.

The governor said the city administration had promoted social discipline since the beginning of first five-year development program (Pelita I) in 1969. However, the promotion was hampered by the rapid change of social development. (mas)
