JAKARTA: The administration of Tangerang regency, Banten,
condemned the Jakarta administration's plan to build an
integrated localization of casinos in Thousand Islands, as
several of of the islands were under its jurisdiction.

The regency secretary, Ismet Iskandar, said last Friday that
the regency refused the idea of making the islands as a gambling
den. If Jakarta administration insisted, then they must have been
reckless. Ismet said that they would pursue the case to the
Ministry of Internal Affair for settlement.

Based on the regulation No. 22 on Special Regional Autonomy,
108 islands in the Thousand islands were claimed by Tangerang
regency, and currently being disputed at the National Survey and
Mapping Agency (Bakosurtanal).--JP
