Mayor inaugurates Glodok Plaza

JAKARTA: Glodok Plaza, an electronics and computer center in
West Jakarta, has reopened after undergoing renovation for a
number of years.

The owner of Glodok, PT TCP Internusa, a subsidiary of
publicly listed PT Surya Semesta Internusa, organized the plaza's
soft opening on Wednesday. West Jakarta Mayor Sarimun Hadisaputra
inaugurated the building.

The Plaza was ransacked and set on fire by rioters during May
riots in 1998.

Company president director Johannes Suriadjaya said Glodok
Plaza was no longer just a trading center, but was also a
business information center.

Through its website www.e-glodokplaza.com, people from around
the world can access business information on the plaza and make
transactions through the Internet.

"This is part of our efforts to make Glodok Plaza the biggest
electronics and computer business center in Southeast Asia," said
Johannes as quoted by Antara.

The shopping center also has an exhibition room, a conference
room, an ATM gallery, entertainment facilities and parking spaces
for 1,400 cars.

Sarimun said Glodok Plaza, which stands on a 65,000-square-
meter plot, would be able to employ at least 3,000 people.
