Mini-skirted vendors at regency offices

TANGERANG: Vendors dressed in miniskirts who sell cigarettes
in the Tangerang regency building compound in Tiga Raksa have
been prohibited from entering offices during regular work hours.

"These women selling cigarettes disturb the employees, so they
should be restricted from going into the offices," a spokesman of
the regency, Maman Soetoyo, told reporters.

Almost every day a group of women wearing miniskirts has been
entering the offices of the regency employees, who are mostly
male, to sell cigarettes.

Some of the women have even exchanged the employees' lit
cigarettes with their products, he said.

When the women enter an office, most employees stop working
just to look at them, he said. --Antara

Excavation site shut down

TANGERANG: The Tangerang regency has closed an excavation site
in Buaran village, Serpong, due to environmental concerns and
damage done to roads.

Maman Soetoyo, the spokesman of the regency, said on Friday
that it was shut down because there was no permit to operate the
site.

He said that soil from the site had been dropped along the
road through Buaran and Cinter, causing roads to become muddy and
slippery when it rained, and dusty during the dry season. He said
residents complained that the dust entered their homes.

Residents have also complained about the noise from passing
trucks, which carry soil along the road late at night to housing
complexes in South Jakarta. --Antara
