RUPIAH STRENGTHENS FURTHER MONDAY AFTERNOON
Jakarta, Nov. 3 (ANTARA) - The rupiah strengthened further on Monday afternoon in the Jakarta inter-bank spot market, following an announcement by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) on the October inflation rate which had dropped to 0.45 percent from 0.97 percent in the preceding month.
The rupiah traded at Rp10,750/10,850 per US dollar, up 225 points from Rp Rp10,975/10,995 per US dollar when it closed at the last weekend.
"The improvement in the October inflation rate helps the rupiah to strengthen, because market players release US dollars for profit-taking," Retail Banking Director of PT Bank Mega Tbk Kostaman Thayib said here on Monday.
He estimated that the positive sentiment created by the favorable report on the October inflation rate would sustain the rupiah's upward movement.
However, it would be hard for the Indonesian currency to reach the level of below Rp10,000 per US dollar because the global financial crisis was still going on, he said.
Meanwhile, Bank Indonesia (BI) Governor Boediono said the recent weakening of the rupiah would not worsen the inflation rate in October.
"The impact (of the rupiah's weakening) has been offset by the drop in commodity prices, so I think it is not going to affect the inflation rate too much," he said.

The country's foreign exchange reserves had dropped because they were among other things used to intervene in the money market in order to shore up the rupiah, he said.

INDONESIAN QUAKE KILLS ONE, DESTROYS HUNDREDS OF HOMES
Jakarta (dpa) - The powerful undersea earthquake that struck
Indonesia 's North Sulawesi province and nearby regions early Monday
killed at least one person, injured three others and collapsed
hundreds of buildings, officials said.
The quake at 01:02 am (1702 GMT Sunday) measured 7.7 on the
Richter scale. Its epicentre was located about 138 kilometres north-
west of Gorontalo on North Sulwesi, about 1,950 kilometers east-
northeast of Jakarta. It occurred about 10 kilometres beneath the
seabed.
The US Geological Survey recorded the quake at 7.5 on the Richter
scale.
Indonesia's National Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMG)
briefly issued a tsunami warning, but the alert was canceled about an
hour later, after no tidal waves materialized, an official said.
A series of aftershocks followed the powerful quake, with the
highest measuring 6.0 on the Richter scale, sparking a further panic
among residents and preventing them from returning to their homes.
Thousands of residents in Gorontalo, Palu and other regions
remained outdoors six hours after the quake. They were staying in the
hills for fear of tidal waves despite the lifting of the official
tsunami warning.
At least one person was killed in the quake and a number of
school
buildings collapsed in northern Gorontalo, Rustam Pakaya of the
crisis centre at the Health Ministry said.
buildings collapsed in northern Gorontalo, Rustam Pakaya of the
crisis centre at the Health Ministry said.
Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago, sits on the Pacific
"Ring of Fire," the edge of a tectonic plate prone to seismic
upheaval.
The country launched a new high-tech system early last week aimed
at detecting potential tsunamis and providing faster alerts in a
region battered by frequent earthquakes.
A major earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck in December 2004,
leaving more than 170,000 people dead or missing in Indonesia's Aceh
province and around 500,000 homeless.

Merck to shut down plant in S. Korea
SEOUL, Nov. 3
(Yonhap) -- U.S.
pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. will shut down
its plant in South Korea
next year as part of its cost-cutting efforts, the
company's local unit said
Monday.
Merck also plans to lay off some 20 of a
total of 40 South Korean workers at the
plant in the city of Ansan, 42 kilometers south of Seoul, said an official at MSD
Korea Ltd.
Closing the facility in South Korea is part of Merck's
worldwide efforts to
reduce costs, the official
said.
Last month, the New Jersey-based Merck said
it would cut 6,800 employees
worldwide after its third-quarter
net profit plunged 28 percent from a year
earlier.

ARTIST ROY MARTEN SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS FOR DRUG OFFENSE
Surabaya, East Java, April 11 (ANTARA) - The Surabaya District Court on Friday sentenced Indonesian artist Roy Marten alias Roy Wicaksono (56) to three years in jail and a fine of Rp10 million or three months' imprisonment for a drug offense.
The sentence pronounced by presiding judge Berlin Damanik was six months lighter than that demanded by the prosecutor, namely three years and six months in jail and a fine of Rp10 million.
Judge Damanik at the court session which was also attended by Roy's son, Gading Marten, said Roy was proven guilty of taking part in a crystal methamphetamine "party" held in a Surabaya hotel on November 13, 2008.
Responding to the verdict, the senior artist's lawyers, Chris Salam and Sunarno Edy Wibowo, requested a week's time to consider whether they would accept or appeal it.
Earlier, the Surabaya Court had passed verdicts on four other people involved in the same illicit drug 'party' in Surabaya.
Hartanto alias Hong Kho Hong and Didit Kesit Cahyadi were sentenced to five years in jail and a fine of Rp10 million each , Freddy Mattatula to three years' imprisonment, and Windayani to one year in jail and a fine of Rp2 million.

South Korea posts trade surplus of US$1.22
bln in Oct.
SEOUL, Nov. 3 (Yonhap) -- South Korea
posted a trade surplus of US$1.22 billion in October on a surge in exports of
ships and oil products as well as lower crude prices, a government report
showed Monday.
Exports rose 10 percent on-year to $37.89 billion
last month, while imports
gained 12 percent to $36.67 billion, according to
the provisional report by the
Ministry of Knowledge Economy. It was the nation's
first trade surplus since May.
"The
surplus is expected to help stabilize the foreign exchange market and have
beneficial effect on the overall economy," said
Knowledge Economy Minister Lee
Youn-ho.
The senior
policymaker added that the positive shift in the trade balance should
reduce the annual deficit, which stood at $13.45
billion as of last month, to
around $9 billion by year's end. The government
earlier predicted a deficit of $6
billion this year.

car-bus collision kills 1, injures 20
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A car going the wrong way on a divided highway
collided head-on with a Greyhound bus
early Saturday, killing the driver of the car and injuring 20 others, police
said. Panicked passengers crawled out the bus'
windows after the crash.
The bus driver had tried to evade the
oncoming car, police and a passenger said. Heather Marie Thomas, 23, was
driving southbound in a northbound lane of Interstate 85, police Lt. Mark
Drinkard said. Police said they did not know why the car was in the wrong lane
or whether alcohol was involved.
After the
crash, panic erupted in the bus
because the door was jammed shut and the car was smoking, raising a threat of
fire, passenger Clint Cannon said.
"People
were screaming. They were handing babies out the windows," Cannon said.
"It was a frenzy. There were people screaming 'Calm down!' There were
people trying to push each other out of the windows, They thought the bus was going to explode."Drinkard
said 20 people were taken to two hospitals for treatment of minor injuries.

PROSECUTION
DEMANDS EIGHT YEARS FOR FORMER BI CHIEF
Jakarta, Oct. 8 (ANTARA) - The prosecution in the court trials of former Bank Indonesia (BI or central bank) governor Burhanuddin Abdullah in the illegal BI funds transfer case have demanded a jail sentence of eight years for him.
Presenting its demand at a court session here Wednesday, the prosecution also demanded that Abudllah be ordered to pay a fine of Rp500 million or remain in prison for six more months.
The former BI chief was considered guilty of corruption as defined in at least two anti-corruption laws.
In the case, Rp100 billion in BI funds were illegally spent to help a number of former top BI executives escape prosecution for their role in the Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance (BLBI) scandal and to maintain a lobby on House of Representatives (DPR) deliberations on amendments to the BI law in 2003.
Abudllah had all along protested his innocence by arguing the proposals to disburse the funds were approved at a meeting of the BI board of governors. He had only implemented a decision made collectively by the central bank's management.

"Hereby, the request to conduct a judicial review on the Law formally and materially is entirely rejected," Constitutional Court Chairman Mohammad Mahfud MD said when reading the court's decision here on Tuesday.
Amrozi et al who were sentenced to death for their involvement in Bali bombings had filed for a judicial review of the law because they believed execution by a firing squad as mandated by Law No. 2/PNPS/1964 was against their constitutional right not to be tortured

DPR:
New Delhi, Dec 9 (PTI) Parliament
resumes a brief sitting from Wednesday in which the government is expected to
seek a political consensus on initiatives to fight terrorism against the
backdrop of recent Mumbai attacks.
The 10-day sitting, the third part of
the session
which began on July 21 for
securing the trust vote, is being
held at a time when the assembly
election results have come as
a booster for the Congress that
leads the United Progressive
Alliance (UPA) government.
With the Congress buoyed over the
assembly poll
outcome, the ruling combine could
attempt to embarrass the
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over
its terror plank, which
failed to have much impact in the
assembly polls.
The government could come out with
measures to put in
place the Federal Investigation
Agency (FIA) as also a legal
framework to counter terrorism.
The highlight of the 10-day sitting
could be the
execution of the FIA proposal that
may require the opposition
backing in view of its
implications on a subject of law and
order, which is a state subject
under the Constitution.
Won slides against dollar
amid dollar shortage woes
SEOUL, March
2 (Yonhap) -- The South Korean currency declined against the U.S.
dollar Monday, flirting with
the 1,560-won mark, as concerns over the health of
the U.S. banking sector sparked dollar
shortage woes, dealers said.
The local currency was trading at 1,560.50
won to the greenback as of 9:28 a.m.,
down 26.5 won from the
previous session's close. The currency dipped as low as
1,562 won at one point. The
won has lost around 19 percent against the dollar so
far this year.
The U.S. government said Friday it will
boost its stake in troubled Citigroup
Inc. to up to 36 percent by
converting its preferred stocks to common shares,
which analysts say may be a
model for ailing other financial banks.
The country's key stock index tumbled 3.03
percent hit by losses in U.S.
markets
and the won's weakness. The
Dow Jones industrial average reached the lowest close
in 12 years on Friday due to
deepening financial woes.
Foreign investors continued their selling
spree of local stocks for the 15th
straight session, dumping a
net 28.9 billion won (US$18.6 million) worth of local
stocks on the main bourse.
