Belitung Needs A Recreation Park
I take great pride in being a Belitung resident, especially since Bangka Belitung province was separated from South Sumatra. Since then, Belitung's infrastructure development, particularly the highway linking west and east, has taken off.

FURTHER to an article in Tempo's July 14-20 issue titled 'Jakarta Water Leaks', I wish to convey several corrections to the facts as follows:
1. The Greater Jakarta Potable Water Company (PAM Jaya), as a business owned by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, which is bound by existing potable water supply contracts with PT Palyja and PT Aetra, has since 1997 several times done its utmost to improve on these contracts so they more fairly protect the interests of both the government and consumers, as represented by PAM Jaya, through rebalancing the contracts. Improvement of the contracts, including the improvement of clauses on outstanding accounts through an MOU and contract amendments, has had a positive effect, including improving both partners' billing performance. In January 2013, the billing performance of Palyja stood at 79.9 percent, and it improved to 81.12 percent by September 2013. Similarly, the billing performance of Aetra improved from 88.46 percent in January 2013 to 91.35 percent in September 2013.

Recently, however, I have been worried about comfort and security with the integration of the train's economy and business classes.

FOB value is based on evidence of payment (if you ever did present such a document) or based on calculation of comparative prices by Customs officers (there being no such document).
