YLKI responds

On behalf of the Indonesian Consumers Foundation (YLKI) I
would like to thank Mr. Indaryanto for his letter in The Jakarta
Post of Oct. 27 regarding the sale of SEA Games stickers.

We understand what he means by the difficulty in reality to
refuse the imposition of paying for SEA Games stickers when
paying power and telephone bills.

I trust Mr. Indaryanto is aware that PLN's managing director
has issued a circular letter No. 6733/0053/DIRUT/1997/M, saying
that the purchase of SEA Games stickers is voluntary and those
who object to buying them can refuse the offer.

For other agencies, like Telkom, one can refuse to pay for
stickers, but this is limited to customers who pay direct at
counters. Customers paying from their bank account or by bank
transfer are still charged the price of stickers.

AGUS PAMBAGIO
