Occupation of school protested

JAKARTA (JP): The founder of Bahagia Islam Education Foundation, Dalari Umar, went to city council yesterday to complain that an official from the Central Jakarta development supervision office is illegally occupying the school complex.

Dalari told city council's commission E, which oversees the affairs of people's welfare, that the illegal occupation was orchestrated by Sadan Kasadihardjo, who was fired by the foundation founders for being undisciplined.

According to Dalari, Sadan, who is also an official of the Central Jakarta development supervision office, has the ambition to be the foundation's chairman.

"Education activities at the foundation have been affected since Jan. 30 due to the obstruction and approximately 1,000 pupils were forced to stay at home," Dalari told members of the commission. (mas)
