Students protest at Bekasi council

BEKASI: Hundreds of college students staged a protest in front
of the Bekasi City Council on Tuesday to highlight what they said
was the failure of the country's development policy.

The students, from various student associations, also urged an
investigation into alleged embezzlement involving the city's 2005
budget.

"We strongly urge the local prosecutor's office to probe the
matter and arrest all those involved," protest leader Hilaludin
said.

Bekasi Chief Prosecutor Ferry Wibisono said that his office
was currently investigating 10 corruption cases and had brought
several other cases before the local court. -- Antara
