Gas stations shut for meter-tampering

MAKASSAR: State oil and gas company PT Pertamina's South Sulawesi
operations cut supplies and closed down two filling stations
after it was discovered that they had been tampering with their
meters.

Spokesman of Pertamina's South Sulawesi operations, Winarto,
said on Thursday that one fuel station was located in Makassar
city, and the other was in Gowa regency.

The company will keep the ban in place on the two stations,
until the owners fix the meters, explained Winarto. The Pertamina
spokesman did not give any details as to whether the fuel station
owners would be punished for the serious violation. -- Antara
