This was because Indonesian mass media reported that the rice continued to remain unused after arriving at local storages. Poster's note: Japanese media also reports the same situation of Japan's aid rice, but it gets little attention at the national level. Perhaps because the rice is after all a "loan", the government is not too worried as far as the Indonesian government can pay back later. *** ---------- SiaR WEBSITE: http://apchr.murdoch.edu.au/minihub/siarlist/maillist.html ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Didistribusikan tgl. 11 Jan 1999 jam 07:09:30 GMT+1 oleh: Indonesia Daily News Online <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.Indo-News.com/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
