Gita and Jimbani Cafe

On behalf of the owners of Jimbani Cafe and Gallery I would like to thank you for printing an article about our cafe in The Jakarta Post on Sunday, June 8, 1995.

My name, which was not spelled correctly, was mentioned in the article. I did not object to the mentioning of my name, even though I think this was too much, considering that I am only an ordinary owner of the cafe. Besides, I had never been contacted by any of the Post's reporters.

What I do regret was the exposure of my personal life in the sentence saying "Gita Ariani, now widely known as..." etc., which was not relevant and out of context. I feel that the Post has been unfair to me because I was the only one among those mentioned in the article, whose personal life was revealed.

Since the article mentioned my name, I think I have a right to respond. And I am sure that the Post, as a respected newspaper, with good credibility, will publish this letter.

GITA SETIANI
