Sabang has new regent

SABANG, Aceh: Aceh Governor Syamsudin Machmud installed
Bustari Mansyur as Sabang's new regent replacing Sulaiman Ibrahim
yesterday.

Bustari, an Army colonel, defeated contenders Abdullah Achmad
and Suradji Yunus in a recent election, Antara reported.

role in development activities.

"A head of government should not abuse power for his personal
interests, but should offer optimal service to the public," he
said.(rms)
