Some important cases which drew public attention but have yet to be, if ever, resolved:

1. The Ancolgate scandal involving some city officials and councillors who took a foreign trip in October 2000.

The participants allegedly took travel allowances from the city budget as well as the city-owned developer PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol. Some canceled the trip but did not return the allowance.

In 2001, several low-ranking officials received administrative sanctions, while their superiors remained untouched.

The Jakarta Prosecutors' Office probed the case but it was never completed. It is unclear if it ever will be.

2. The city chapter of the Indonesian Civil Servants Corps (Korpri) was hit by the alleged theft of Rp 4.2 billion.

The administration, who said millions of rupiah were misappropriated by corruption, replaced some of its low-ranking officials.

3. The Kramat Tunggak land scam involved the alleged graft of chunks of money used in the Rp 84 billion acquisition of 11 hectares of land housing the former Kramat Tunggak brothel complex in North Jakarta. The administration denied any wrongdoing in the acquisition, which was conducted last year and this year.

4. The city-owned Ragunan Zoo is clouded with controversy involving the management of its budget, including billions of rupiah that were 'spent' renovating several toilets.

A councillor investigating the claims said a senior zoo official offered him a bribe during an inspection of the zoo.

The administration planned to allocate Rp 3.2 billion a year to feed four gorillas which would be imported from the U.K., even though there is an organization that will provide the meals for free.

The city inspectorate has questioned some zoo officials but the results are not known, while the fate of the four gorillas, which were scheduled to arrive here in October, is also unclear.

5. The City Sanitation Agency is facing corruption allegations over its garbage mismanagement. In 2001, the agency received Rp 90 billion to handle the garbage, but there is no transparency in the use of the funds. Jakarta Governor Sutiyoso denied the accusations but did not oppose a plan for the city council to form a special team to investigate the case. The team was never established.
