15 nightspots
shut for Ramadhan

JAKARTA: The City Public Order Agency closed two entertainment
venues on Thursday, bringing the total to 15 premises closed
during the Islamic fasting month.

The newly shut nightspots were located in Taman Ria in Central
Jakarta, and in Cilandak Town Square in South Jakarta,
respectively.

The agency head Hariyanto Bajuri explained on Friday that the
two places had violated the Gubernatorial Regulation No. 98/2004
on tourism, which specifies that they should not be operational
during Ramadhan.

The regulations includes entertainment venues such as
discotheques, spas, massage parlors and bars. -- Antara

Fake driver's license
makers arrested

JAKARTA: The police have arrested five people suspected of
involvement in fabricating thousands of driver's licenses.

Soekarno-Hatta airport police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Tejo
Subagio said that the suspects were also involved in similar
crimes in many towns outside Jakarta, saying that they had a
special printing machine to make licenses.

"Actually, we arrested them during an operation to crack down
on gangsters in Tangerang. We were suspicious because they were
able to only show us a driver's license instead of identity
cards," Tejo was quoted by Antara as saying over the weekend.

The police found out that the driver's licenses were fake,
shortly afterward, however.

The suspects told the police that each fake license was sold
for between Rp 1 million (some US$100) and Rp 1.5 million. -- JP
