SAMARINDA, East Kalimantan: East Kalimantan Governor Suwarna
A.F. presented on Tuesday 15 desktop computers to 15 major weekly
publications in the province.

The governor denied the computers were an attempt to curry
favor with the media, saying they were simply meant to help the
media get information out to the public.

East Kalimantan spokesman Jauhar Effendi said the computers
were purchased in response to concern over the poor equipment at
the media outlets.

Each desktop cost about Rp 5 million (US$555.50). -- JP
