Official complains of improper e-mails

JAKARTA: Head of the Commodity Future Trading Supervisory Board complained on Thursday about people who sent improper e- mails, faxes and letters under his name.

Ridwan Kurnaen, head of the agency, told Antara that he had received information that many people claiming to be him had sent faxes, letters, e-mails and even made phone calls giving false information, from financial gatherings to prostitute spots available for traders.

Some of the misleading mail, mostly sent to traders, could make the recipients conflict with each other, he said.

He appealed to the public, especially traders, when receiving news carrying his name, to confirm it with his office at the Trade and Industry Ministry, BBD Plaza, 4th floor, Jl. Imam Bonjol 61, Central Jakarta, or phone 31156315 or 3156369.

He alleged that the misuse of such e-mails was aimed at ruining the newly established commodity futures trading in Indonesia. --JP
