Paint them white: Mayor

MEDAN, North Sumatra: Medan Mayor Bahtiar Djafar has ordered
all buildings along the city's main roads to be painted white to
welcome Indonesia's 50th independence anniversary.

Bahtiar issued the order to all district and subdistrict
chiefs to ensure that the order be carried out.

He warned that any house or building owner ignoring the order
would face sanctions. If the owner happens to run a shop, for
example, his license will be revoked, he said as reported by
Antara. (emb)
