'Wayang' gets antidrug twist

PURWOKERTO, Central Java: Nine wayang kulit (shadow puppet) masters, including Entus Susmono, will launch an antidrugs campaign on Thursday night.

Entus said on Wednesday the puppet shows would be held in the regencies of Kedu, Banyumas and Magelang. In each performance three puppet masters will alternate.

Central Java Governor Mardiyanto donated Rp 10 million to finance the activity, said Entus.

"We want to help police eradicate the drug problem," said Entus. (45)
