Grow tomatoes at home: Police chief

BOGOR: Bogor Regional Police Chief Sr. Comr. Anton Bachrul Alam
has urged all his police officers in Bogor to grow their own
tomatoes using hydroponics in their yards as a way to increase
their income.

"It is my hope that all police officers will grow tomatoes. It
will help them to raise their income and prevent them from taking
bribes," he said on Wednesday.

Bogor regional police covers Bogor, Sukabumi and Cianjur,
which are all in West Java province.

Anton, who is a former city police spokesman, said that the
hydroponic tomatoes grew very easily. The police officers can
also sell their tomatoes through a police cooperative.

According to him, an expert on hydroponics from New Zealand is
ready to teach them how to grow marketable tomatoes.--JP
