Police urged to arrest developer

JAKARTA: City Council urged the police on Tuesday to arrest
the president of publicly listed developer PT Duta Pertiwi for
ignoring the council's summons to attend a hearing.

"The company president, S. Chandra, has ignored our summons
four times. We will ask the council leader to send a letter,
demanding the police to arrest him," chairman of Commission B for
economic affairs Syarief Zulkarnain said.

The company executive, who is a member of the Sinar Mas Group,
was summoned over reports of an alleged scam from dozens of
traders at shopping malls and inhabitants at an apartment
building developed by the firm.

ITC Mangga Dua and ITC Roxy Mas in West Jakarta, and ITC
Fatmawati and the Ambassador apartments in South Jakarta were
built by the firm.--JP
