Manado, The Horn, and swift delivery

I am always pleased with The Jakarta Post and am impressed with its quality. However I am disturbed to find daily advertisements in The Jakarta Post which promote the sale of rhinoceros horn products. It is very kind of The Jakarta Post to contribute US$3 to the WWF for each reader's survey returned, but for The Jakarta Post to continue to allow advertisements promoting the sale of endangered animal products is quite a contradiction. I hope these ads are banned.

I am a recent subscriber to The Jakarta Post. I find some issues take a week to reach me. But here in Ubud I notice the The Jakarta Post is always fresh. Is it possible for subscribers in Bali to receive quicker delivery through a local distributor?

Note: The treatment of impotence does not use rhinoceros horn as the picture in the ad may have suggested, but modern medication. Subscribers in Bali are kindly advised to contact Mr. Sofyan, Representative of Kompas, at Jl. Gatot Subroto No.100X Kav. 9, Denpasar; Phone, 0361-241433.
