JAKARTA: Some 700 residents of the Karet Tengsin area of

The program's chairwoman Linda Carolina said that the annual
program, which started here three years ago, was organized by GE
employees and pensioners.

She said about US$2,500 was spent on Saturday's event, which
was held in the parking lot of the company's head office at the
