Shoppers alerted on bomb scare in Jakarta
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

The Jakarta Post reported a few days ago that a total of eight bombs were found in a hotel room in Central Jakarta and the police alleged last Sunday that they could be linked to Friday's bomb blast at Petra church in Koja, North Jakarta.

Many Bruneians choose to go to Jakarta for their Hari Raya shopping and some may even stay in hotels at Central Jakarta, observers said.

The bomb scare should serve as a reminder to Bruneians to stay at home due to escalating violence overseas, they pointed out.

Businessmen normally go to Jakarta to get their stock for Hari Raya and the local people find Jakarta a shopping haven due to better prices.
