TMII Square inaugurated

JAKARTA: East Jakarta Mayor Koesnan Abdul Halim inaugurated on
Wednesday the construction of a new square called Tamini Square
close to the complex of the Indonesia in Miniature Park (TMII) in
Pondok Gede, East Jakarta.

The square, comprising a shopping mall and trade center, would
be operational in mid-2006.

The six-floor square, to be built on a three-hectare site by
PT Kencana Graha Lestari, would accommodate 2,000 kiosks and
shops.

Koesnan has told the developer to recruit local residents as
security guards, parking attendants and janitors.

"Hopefully, the presence of the Tamini Square will help reduce
the high level of unemployment in East Jakarta that stands at
more than 60,000 people," Koesnan said.--JP
