Keep up your good work!

Keep up your good work!

Since we are leaving Indonesia on July 1, at the end of our
four-year contract with the United Nations Development Program, I
am reluctantly obliged to terminate my subscription to The
Jakarta Post by end of June 1998.

In saying goodbye, I would like to express my appreciation to
your journalists and to the editors for a remarkable performance
over the four years. I truly enjoyed reading your paper every
day, from June 15, 1994 until today. Since I always subscribed to
a local newspaper in each of the eight countries I have worked in
for the United Nations, I have been able to make comparisons: the
Post certainly stands out as one of the best.

I do remember many outstanding articles written by the
country's best intellectuals. The fact that you were able to
associate them with your paper is very much to your credit.

One bit of advice: Have somebody double check your figures,
especially when transposing rupiah into U.S. dollars. They have
been wrong many times.

Returning to Germany, with an everlasting love for Indonesia
and its people (though not for the government), I wish that you
will be able to keep up the quality and good work. I will check
on it coming back as a tourist.
