PALANGKARAYA, Central Kalimantan: Kotawaringin Timur Regent
Didik Salmijardi has threatened to burn down karaoke bars which
continued operations without permits, Antara reported yesterday.

"If there are any karaoke bars open in Sampit, please report
them to me and I will burn them down," he said Monday.

Didik was responding to reports that 12 bars were operating
without permits. The bars were closed down last month for
violating several regulations, including operating as
prostitution dens.

Didik was formerly the chief of the 1016 Palangka Raya
military command. (swe)
