NIKE clarifies baby case

NIKE clarifies baby case

I would like to clarify some inaccuracies that appeared in The
Jakarta Post on March 24, 1998 on page three in an article titled
'When stressed dad rocks cradle'.

On behalf of NIKE Inc. and PT Pratama Abadi Industri, we would
like to inform you that Dulgani, the father who was detained on
charges of killing his own baby, was never fired from Pratama
Abadi Industri as he has never been employed in any capacity by
the company.

Marsipah, the mother of the deceased child, has however been
an employee of Pratama since May 8, 1995. We would like to extend
our regrets and condolences for her loss in his difficult time.

We know The Jakarta Post is as concerned about the well-being
of Marsipah as we are at Nike and Pratama; we also feel confident
that you will want to inform your readers of the correct facts
pertaining to this sad incident.
