Kudos to Tempo
THUMBS up to the sharp, accurate, bold and brave Tempo as proven in the article Three Nods on page 26-28 of its February 16-22 issue. Tempo was very sure that President Joko Widodo would cancel the appointment of Comr. Gen. Budi Gunawan. Likewise, Tempo hinted that he would nominate a new candidate. As soon as a noted politician visited the Palace Tuesday night, February 17, it was clear who Jokowi would nominate. Sure enough, on Wednesday afternoon, February 18, President proposed a new national police chief candidate.

Access Blocked
ACCESS from Jalan Kemukus to the Kunir Jaya Indah Housing Complex in West Jakarta has been closed to traffic since last year. As a result, traffic jams have been a daily occurrence. Worse still, a six-meter-long pedestrian walkway in the area has also been closed by the owner of a storage building.

Early last year the West Jakarta Spatial Planning Office revoked the storage building's permit. When the owner balked at the move, the West Jakarta mayor ordered the dismantling of the building. To date the building remains in place. I do not know to whom else we should bring this case.
