Governor rapped over trip on the sly

BANJARMASIN, South Kalimantan: South Kalimantan Governor M.
Sjachriel and two provincial assemblymen came under fire on
Sunday for visiting Australia despite the various issues
demanding speedy resolutions in the region.

The governor, according to Antara sources on Sunday, was
accompanied by his development secretary, a provincial
assemblyman and a member of the provincial assembly's commission
D.

Mansyah Addryans, speaker of the provincial assembly,
confirming the trips said the governor had sought the approval of
the home affairs minister while the councillors had made no such
request.

He continued that some time earlier a gold mining company, PT
Placer Dome Inc., that was planning to conduct exploration in
South Kalimantan, had invited the governor and councillors to
Australia.
