FUN, FIRE, FAMILY: Thousands of people, braving the rains, visit
the Ragunan Zoo on the second day of Idul Fitri yesterday (above
photo) while fires destroyed four houses on Jl. Budi Mulia,
Pademangan, North Jakarta (left photo, below) on Idul Fitri eve.
Other fires ravaged houses in Cipete and Bintaro in South
Jakarta, Central Jakarta and an electricity generating plant on
Jl. Lt. Jen. Suprapto, East Jakarta at the same time. For
Suradjudin (second right, right photo, below) who is serving a
life sentence for killing a noted model in 1986, Idul Fitri also
means a reunion with relatives.
