Tow truck finds job at Assembly

JAKARTA (JP): Special Session organizers have thoughtfully deployed a tow truck to remove cars parked incorrectly in the Assembly compound.

Antara said the back parking lot was required on Tuesday for a ceremony to mark Heroes Day, which fell on that day, leaving the organizers with little choice but ask members to move their cars.

Although participants by-and-large were quick to oblige, two cars were left unclaimed when the ceremony was due to begin.

After a futile attempt to locate the owners, officials ordered the tow truck into action.

Just in the nick of time, the two owners appeared and ran, red-faced, to move their cars while onlookers jeered and laughed at them. (swe)
