Private firms urged to aid PMI

JAKARTA (JP): South Jakarta Mayor Pardjoko urged private companies on Thursday to make more donations to the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI).

"The private sector's assistance is expected to enable PMI to provide better services to the public," Pardjoko said at the closing ceremony of PMI's fund raising month.

During the fund raising campaign, PMI managed to collect Rp 205 million in South Jakarta.

The donations, which were Rp 5 million higher than the target, were mostly collected from students of junior and senior high schools as well as visitors of recreation places in South Jakarta. (yns)
