Johnson gets green signal

JAKARTA (JP): The immigration department of the Ministry of Justice said yesterday that Earvin "Magic" Johnson would be allowed to perform at the Senayan Indoor Stadium here tomorrow and Thursday as long as he is accompanied by a Ministry of Health medical team.

Johnson, who is bringing eight players and four technicians with him, was banned from entering Indonesia in January 1994 because he is HIV positive.

The former LA Lakers star, who was a member of the USA's first Dream Team at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, is scheduled to arrive today at 10.00 a.m. and to stage a fans gathering at Blok M Plaza, South Jakarta, in the afternoon. (yan)
