Sutiyoso also threatened to bring the issue to Home Affairs
Minister Hari Sabarno, but until Wednesday he failed to show up
at the home affairs ministry office.

"As we have now reached a stalemate, I will ask the Home
Affairs Minister to help solve the problem," Sutiyoso said on
Tuesday.

The conflict over the site worsened after two garbage trucks
belonging to the Jakarta administration were set alight by Bekasi
residents upset at seeing the trucks' drivers dumping garbage in
a street near the dump site.
