JAKARTA (JP): Complaints hounded organizers of the Main Press
Center until the end.

Reporters griped about inaccurate results and wrong
information on the venues and schedules.

Several reporters went to the East Jakarta Sports Hall on
Saturday to cover the sepak takraw final, which, according to the
official handout, was scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. The events had
actually been held the night before.

There were others who could empathize.

Fliers in the press center had announced Friday's body
building competition was to be relocated from the indoor tennis
stadium in Senayan Sports Center to the Brojonegoro Sports Hall
in Kuningan, South Jakarta.

Several reporters went to Kuningan, only to find that there
was no body building event there. They were dismayed to find out
later the competition had been held in the tennis stadium after
all. (cst)
