Credit card crimes

I would like to thank you for your article Credit body seeks firm laws (July 16) which referred to the Indonesian Credit Card Association.

While the article generally reflected what was said during the question and answer session accurately, there was one particular statement in the fifth paragraph, first line, which needs clarification. It read: "He said the related agencies often conflicted in their approach to credit card crime."

During the press conference, no statements suggested there was conflict between the related agencies. There were only statements made implying that the related agencies, in this case, the Central Bank (BI), the Police (POLRI), the Attorney General's Office, Visa and MasterCard International have been and will continue working together toward a more effective and unified approach in handling credit card related crimes.

I certainly hope the above clarifies the possible misinterpretation by related agencies concerned.
