Man beaten for corruption report

TANGERANG: A worker at the local Land Transportation Agency
filed a police report on Friday accusing three of his coworkers
of assault.

In his report to the Tangerang Police, Ali said he had been
assaulted for disclosing to the mayoralty and regency
legislatures the alleged involvement of his three coworkers,
identified as Ngd, Iyr and MS, in skimming money off the top of
collected parking fees.

"I was beaten up and punched in the throat after reporting
that they took money for themselves," he said.

In his complaint, Ali said he had not received his monthly
commission, amounting to 5 percent of the monthly parking fees
collected at the Cibodasari and Pasar Baru bus terminals. The
first terminal generates Rp 126,000 a month, while the latter
generates Rp 240,000.

Ali said the three men had been questioned by the local
inspectorate office.

The head of the Tangerang Land Transportation Agency, Sjamsul
Ma'arif, and the head of the administrative division, Iryani
Mansyur, said they knew nothing about the alleged corruption, but
admitted there were several dishonest workers at the agency.
