KONI gets another donation

JAKARTA (JP): The National Sports Council (KONI) received on
Monday a Rp 225 million (US$30,000) donation in the form of
analgesic ointment from PT Pfizer Indonesia Tbk. for athletes who
would compete in the 15th National Games (PON) and 2000 Olympic
Games.

"We want to celebrate the PON and Olympic Games by
contributing 15,000 tubes of Bengay analgesic ointment worth Rp
225 million to Indonesian athletes through KONI," said Iqbal
Bengali, president director of PT Pfizer Indonesia Tbk., on
Monday.

such a contribution. The first donation was given to East Timor

contribution to the council. "When receiving contributions from
any parties, we don't see the cost but their concern to national
sports development." (ivy)
