Glodok dreams of bigger things

JAKARTA: In an effort to realize plans to turn Glodok Plaza
into the city's largest computer center, the plaza's management,
PT TCP Internusa, signed an agreement over the weekend with Bank
Bumiputra and the Association of Indonesian Computer Traders.

Under the agreement, those interested in opening or expanding
businesses in Glodok Plaza, which is located on Jl. Pinangsia
Raya in West Jakarta, may be eligible for financial support from
the bank.

The plan to make Glodok Plaza the city's largest computer
center is being implemented in two phases. During the first
phase, computer vendors will occupy the plaza's second floor, and
the third floor will be turned into a computer center during the
second phase.

The area of Glodok, the city's most popular electronics
center, contains a number of shopping centers, including Harco
Glodok, Plaza Pinangsia, Glodok Jaya, Orion Plaza, Pasar Glodok,
Hayam Wuruk Indah and Glodok Plaza.

There are already several other shopping malls in the city
that have gained reputations as computer centers, including
Mangga Dua Mall, Gajah Mada Plaza and Ratu Plaza. --JP
