Rp 40m donated to poor people

JAKARTA (JP): PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol, the company which manages the Ancol recreation complex in North Jakarta, has donated Rp40 million to 210 families living in least-developed areas in North Jakarta.

North Jakarta Mayor H. Suprawito symbolically handed over the donation to seven community groups from Cilincing district and the Seribu Islands district in a simple ceremony on Wednesday, Antara reported.

Suprawito stressed that all aid donated by companies to poor people would be directly given to the parties concerned, so as to avoid the assumption that certain city administration officials abuse such aid.

The mayor expressed the hope that the donation given by PT Pembangunan Jaya would be fully utilized by the people who received the money. (bas)
