PALU, Central Sulawesi: The Makassar Straits in South Sulawesi
will be open for international sea routes in early 1995 to ease
traffic in the Straits of Malacca.

Chairperson of Commission I at the House of Representatives
(DPR) Aisyah Aminy told Antara on Monday that the plan will be
implemented later this year.

She made the remarks after meeting with officials of the
Ministry of Information here.

Aisyah said that the government had asked for the Commission's
suggestions about the plan to develop the Makassar Straits as an
alternative route for international sea traffic. (par)
