I am still scratching my head over this one, how did they do it?
Four monorail pillars on Jl. Pejompongan in Central Jakarta have mysteriously disappeared during the past week.
The pillars had been left unused because of ongoing delays to the city's monorail project.
Director of monorail developer PT Jakarta Monorail (JM), Sukmawaty Syukur, said Wednesday she did not know what had happened to the missing pillars.
"I have already asked officials at (city-owned construction firm) PT Adhi Karya and the city administration if they had dismantled the four missing pillars. They said none of them had," she told The Jakarta Post.
"The most likely explanation is someone dismantled the pillars to steal the steel rods inside the concrete."
(Dismantled...see below for an archive photo of the pillars)
She said JM had not tended to the pillars in the area since the sporadic project was suspended. (Read doomed to ailure)
Deputy Governor Prijanto said the project was not the administration's responsibility and any theft would be a matter for police.
I can just see the police report now.....emm, err, Fuckit!
The suspect could (should?) be those who has equipment to dismantle and relocate (relocation does sound polite, doesn't it?) those pillars somewhere else.

i bet it's the madurese from the corner...
ReplyDeletePS: your link's now up :)
I would have figured that dismantling and relocating a big frackin' (too much Battlestar Galactica) concrete pillar is a little bit different from picking someone's pocket!
ReplyDeleteGotta get marks for testicular fortitude for going to the trouble to dismantle the concrete pillars anyway...besides if you're not going to whack a frackin' monorail on the top of 'em any time soon then tear all the bastards down!
they've been known to dismantle entire ships, freighters and even factories. I'm not surprised. Funny tho...
