Hard pressed for accuracy

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)
