JP/kod HEALTH-MINDED: Residents of the densely-populated Kampung Utan Panjang in Kemayoran district, Central Jakarta, are known for their health-mindedness. Some of the area residents yesterday carried their household waste packed in plastic bags and loaded them into a jointly-hired truck which will carry the waste to a temporary garbage dump. The citizens are driven to this by the lack of idle space for a garbage dump in the district.

JP/msa WAITING FOR MONEY: Three-in-one kids, as they are popularly known, wait along the dividing fence not far from the Jl. M.T. Haryono toll gate in South Jakarta. They offer to ride with motorists during the 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. traffic restriction period every working days. Many motorists heading into the restricted zone pick them up to fulfill the requirement to have three people in their cars. The youngsters get at least Rp 500 (US 25 cents) per trip, per person.
