Islamic school building destroyed

INDONESIA: Hundreds of people stormed an Islamic boarding school building in Tulungagung, East Java on Monday night. No injuries have were reported in the incident. Angry masses leveled the building to the ground after hearing reports that the school principal, Mus, 53, had sexual relations with four of his female students, with one of them falling pregnant and having a baby.

Chief of Tulungagung police detectives Adj. Comr. Supardi Astiko said on Saturday that he had deployed 100 police personnel to prevent the dispute from escalating.

Other students questioned her over who was responsible for the baby, and the student pointed to Mus. Having broken the silence, three other female students revealed that they also had sexual relations with Mus. The story then spread quickly, sparking anger of local residents. The school principal is being questioned by the police. -- Antara

DIS celebrates new toll road

INDONESIA: Celebrating the completion of the Jl. Ampera toll road connecting South Jakarta to Tangerang, the German International School (Deutsche Internationale Schule, DIS) will hold a motorcade on Sunday along the new highway.

The toll road was completed on May 5.

The school says the toll road will help DIS students avoid the annoying traffic congestion along Jl. Deplu Raya to reach the campus in Bumi Serpong Damai that has plagued them for eight years.

"During those years, DIS students (collectively) spent a total of 380,000 hours, or 43 years, stuck in traffic jams. Now, we are all grateful because it now takes only 12 minutes," the school management said.

Motorists are invited to join the motorcade. The feast afterwards at the school compound will only be for school management, students and parents. -- JP
