Van not returned by former mayor

CIAMIS, West Java: Former Banjar mayor H. Suyazid has reportedly "forgotten" to return the city administration's official Toyota Kijang minivan, sources have said here.

Antara reported here on Sunday that the former mayor seems reluctant to return the minivan despite no longer serving as the administrative chief in the city.

When asked, the city administration's secretary, Dachlan, confirmed that the car, owned by the city, had not been returned and was often seen being driven by the former mayor's son.

"The Ciamis regency administration even sent a letter reminding him to return government property," he said.

A source at the supervision division said the administration was waiting for the ex-mayor to return from holiday in the Netherlands before it takes measures to confiscate the minivan.
