IPTN boss asked to quit

BANDUNG (JP): The Communication Forum of Employees of the
state-owned Indonesian National Aircraft Manufacturer (IPTN) on
Monday demanded that acting president S. Paramajuda step down for
failing to properly manage the company.

The organization said Paramajuda rarely came to the office as
he was too busy managing other companies also grouped under
state-owned PT Pakarya Industri.

However, IPTN's corporate secretary Purnomo rejected the
organization's accusations on Tuesday, arguing that Paramajuda
still managed to control IPTN's operations amid his busy schedule
with the other companies.

"As president in charge, he does not have to physically be at
the office all the time. We can still communicate every day and
make decisions through the telephone or e-mail," he said. (25/43)
