Photo finish

During Jakarta's time of crisis, I had to visit Singapore. I purchased a Kodak DC25 Digital Camera to be able to take digital photographs instead of relying on currently high priced film developing. Due to fires and ransacking of buildings, the camera was unobtainable in Jakarta.

Unfortunately, the camera broke down due to a minor fault. Personal calls to both local Kodak agents, PT Inter-Delta and PT Machindo, were unfruitful because the camera had been purchased in Singapore.

A fax was sent to Kodak Singapore. Within an hour, Mr. Jeffrey Ho, the Singapore manager, was on the phone to me. Within 24 hours, I had a replacement camera.
