Power outages

Prior to the APEC conference the PLN (State-owned electricity company) expended a not inconsiderable sum of money which was supposedly in support of the conference, or was it to mask their own inefficiency. I suspect it depends on one's opinion.

As a domestic consumer I would remind them of the following outages suffered during this period: Thursday, Nov. 10 evening, Friday, Nov. 11 night, Saturday, Nov. 12 evening, Monday, Nov. 14 morning, Monday, Nov. 14 evening, Tuesday, Nov. 15 night.

However the main reason for this letter is to congratulate them on their search for efficiency, they would appear to have made progress having just read my meter for the first time in over a year.
