Mob runs amok after test results

MATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara (JP): Hundreds of residents from
Bima and Dompu regencies ran amok on Wednesday destroying the
Bima regency office after rumors of collusion and nepotism in the
recruitment of civil servants there.

Bima Police chief Lt. Col. Baharuddin Andi said most of those
in the mob had taken the civil service recruitment test.

They were apparently angered by the lack of response from
local officials to four days of protests following the
announcement of the test results last week.

"They only calmed down after Governor Harun Al Rasjid
decided to annul the results of the test and promised to hold new
tests," Baharuddin said as quoted by Antara. (prb)
