PT Media Jakarta Sukses corrects

Thank you very much for writing an article on the Diwali Celebration at the National Monument (Monas), under the heading Diwali to be celebrated for the first time in Monas on Oct. 18 in the city news and also publishing the actual photograph of the event under the heading Light up the night in your Sunday edition on Oct. 19.

We really appreciate your concern and initiative to promote such an innovative event that took place for the first time in Indonesia.

However, I would like to inform and clarify that this unique event was conceived, sponsored and organized by "djakarta -- boutique event organizer", a part of PT Media Jakarta Sukses (also regular publishers of Djakarta -- the city life magazine) and not by the Indian communities in Jakarta as mentioned in both of your articles.

The basic aim and idea of this Indonesian-based company was to celebrate the biggest Indian festival among all Jakartans to popularize this festival in Indonesia and hence Monas had been chosen for this event.
