Principal suspended

BANDAR LAMPUNG, Lampung: An elementary school principal, suspected of committing adultery with a neighboring housewife, has been given an indefinite time-out.

Head of the Ministry of Education's North Lampung office, Sudirman Subing, alleges the man, identified only as AS, was recently caught in the act with Mrs. Oh, wife of an inter-city bus driver.

"We're not playing games here, we're not going to cover up anything, if he's acted immorally, we'll take action against him," Sudirman said.

Sudirman also said he has proposed to the governor that AS be dismissed. Sudirman did not disclose the name of the school for ethical reasons, the Antara news agency reported yesterday.

According to Antara, it was the bus driver who caught AS with his wife and reported them to the police. (swe)
