'Papillon' loses its wings

YOGYAKARTA: Papillon, a discotheque notorious for its brawls,
has had its wings clipped by the authorities.

Yogyakarta police have revoked the operating license of the
disco located on Jl. Mayor Suryotomo in the heart of the city.

Head of the Detective Division, Capt. Budiarto, said it was
closed because complaints about brawls had increased, the Antara
news agency reported.

Earlier, police closed down another discotheque, Crazy, for
similar reasons.

"We feel that the presence of the discotheques is
inappropriate in a city renowned as a center of academic
excellence and Javanese culture, especially when public disorder
is created by youths brawling," Budiarto said. (emb)
