Traffic and pollution

Congratulations on your excellent coverage of Indonesia's MICE (Meetings, Incentives Conventions and Exhibitions) market in Sunday's The Jakarta Post, Nov. 3, 1996.

I would like to correct one of my statements on Jakarta as a MICE destination.

My comment was "that there is a considerable misperception of Jakarta, particularly in relation to traffic and pollution. But once international businesspeople get to know Jakarta, while recognizing that like any megacity, there is bound to be some traffic and pollution problems, they discover there is so much more to enjoy about Jakarta than they ever appreciated or realized."
