JAKARTA (JP): Greater Jakarta Military Commander Maj. Gen.
Sutiyoso installed Lt. Col. Subagya Jiwapraja, a former Bogor
Military Police detachment commander, as the new detachment
commander of the Jakarta Military Garrison yesterday.

Subagya replaced Lt. Col. Otte Ruchiyat, who will be promoted
to deputy commander of Presidential Security Squad's Group C.

Sutiyoso ordered the new detachment commander yesterday to
continue to take stern measures against Armed Forces (ABRI)
members who frequent prohibited places, including red light
districts, discotheques and entertainment centers.

On July 5, the Jakarta Military Garrison arrested 34 soldiers
in an operation at discotheques and entertainment centers
throughout the city.

Sutiyoso said the main goal of the operation was to net
soldiers who were believed to give protection to the discotheques
and entertainment centers.

Many entertainment centers in the city have turned into drug
trafficking places and gambling dens, he said. (jun)
