Hundreds of local
citizens from the Petitenget
area near Seminyak in Bali
marched last week on the
home of Irwandi Ibrahim at
Jalan Klecung No. 16, Uma
Alas, Kerobokan Kelod.
Dressed in traditional
Balinese garb, the citizens
claimed that Ibrahim's home
stands on village land in a

specifically for religious use.
The villagers insist they hold
a legal certificate for the land
and want Ibrahim, originally

the fact that they had

"The decision is not final, so

Irwandi claims he is the

$2m suit after cocaine turns out to be
candy
several
TWO American men who were
jailed for a week after police
mistook their coconut candy
for crack cocaine are planning
to file a US$2 million ($2.21m)
lawsuit, according to US
reports.
José Pena, a 48-year-old
plumber, and his longtime friend
and colleague Cesar Rodriguez,
33, from the Bronx, New York,
were arrested on January 15
after police found a bag of what
they thought was cocaine,
reports The New York Post.
The "drugs" were finally
tested five days later and
determined to be popular Coco
(coconut) Candy. The charges
were dropped.
The ordeal began when
the pair stopped at convenience
store on the way to a party. When
they came out of the store police
asked to search their Ford
minivan.
"I said 'Go search.' I even
opened the door," Rodriguez told
The Post.
An officer rummaged
around, came out holding a
"Hello Kitty" sandwich bag, and
shouted "Bingo!" the men said.
"It's only candy!"
Rodriguez said, as the cops
handcuffed him and Pena, and

cent bag of Coco
Candy, a hard
coconut-based
treat, almost
e v e r y d a y.
Because it
easily crumbles,
he puts it in a
sandwich bag.
"Can you
test it? Can you taste it?"
Rodriguez asked the cops. "Shut
up!" they replied.
"I didn't know having
candy was a crime," he said.
The two men were jailed
for cocaine possession. Pena got
out after three days, but
Rodriguez was held two more,
because he could not make $5000
bail the judge imposed on him due
to a prior robbery conviction, the
New York Daily News reported.
The two men are now
planning to file a $2 million
(A$2.21m) lawsuit, the Daily News
reported.
The men's lawyer, Neal
Wallerstein, said the cops could
have realized their mistake
quickly.
"That's the reason why
they have a field-test kit," he said,
referring to the New York Police
Department's portable drug
identification equipment.
The Bronx District
Attorney's office confirmed that
the case was dropped after
authorities realized there were no
drugs. The NYPD had no
comment.
Rodriguez said he still

The two men arrived on
Cathay Pacific Flight no. 785 from
Hong Kong at 3:30 pm after
reportedly making two earlier
assessment survey visits to the
airport.
Police, who were initially
suspicious of the men when they
passed through a security gate,
resorted to a more basic tactic and
had an official "accidentally" bump
into one of the men. Detecting an
extremely hard abdomen, the police
took the too men to an examination
room where they discovered plastic
packets of drugs taped to their mid-
sections.
Police estimate the street value of the smuggled drugs at Rp. 2 billion (US$200,000).
The two men are claiming that they were merely acting as "mules" or couriers and were to be paid
HKD 5,000 after the successful delivery of the drugs to a local address.
The two men may now be charged under Indonesia's tough narcotics laws with a possible death
sentence waiting at the end of the legal process.
Police are seeking the two men's Bali contact to whom they were intended to deliver the contraband
drugs.

Cricket Australia has

Australian Indian
Premier League stars,
but says the decision to
go to India will rest with
the players.
A radical Hindu group
has threatened to disrupt IPL
matches if Australian cricketers
are allowed to play.
Shiv Sena says the
league has a
patriotic duty to
stop Australians
from playing
because of the
recent spate of
violent attacks
on Indians in
Australia.
Indian
p o l i t i c a l
commentators
say any threat
from the group
should not be
taken lightly.
Cricket
A u s t r a l i a
spokesman Peter Young says it
is disappointing cricket is being
used for political purposes.
"Cricket should be used
as a bridge between diverse
cultures," he said.
"It has been very, very
successful working to bring
diverse cultures together and it
is a shame that that is not
acknowledged.
"It is a shame that
everybody is not getting behind
cricket to try and use it as one of
the tools to help soothe the
feelings in Melbourne."
The attacks on Indian
students have drawn
widespread publicity as well as
the ire of political parties such as
Shiv Sena.
Earlier this month, Shiv
Sena called for Australian teams
to be banned from playing in
Mumbai.
Mahesh Rangarajan, a
political commentator from the
University of Delhi, says the
party's threats are very serious.
"Politically very serious,"
he said.
"The Shiv Sena is a major
opposition party so it has to be
taken serious and we have to
see how the Government, the
state government in
Maharashtra and the union
government respond.
"Whether they move IPL
matters out of the city of Mumbai
or whether they ensure that the
matches continue under heavy
security [is unclear]."
Shiv Sena's executive
president Udhav Thackeray has
threatened to disrupt IPL fixtures
held in Mumbai and other cities
in Maharashtra, the state which
is home to the party.
But Mr Rangarajan says
Australian cricketers are well
respected in India and
it's unlikely that they would be
targeted personally.
"I am not sure you will
see violence of the sort that
people are attacked but there
may be some demonstrations
and they may get a little out of
hand," he said.
"You are aware of
course that many years ago, in
the late 90s, Shiv Sena
protesters dug up the cricket
pitch and prevented the
matches being held, the one-
day matches with Pakistan.
"So cricket
and politics makes a
fairly explosive mix
in western India."
A diplomatic
row has erupted
between Pakistan
and India after
Pakistani players
were snubbed in the
recent IPL player
auction.
M r
Rangarajan says
there is a perception
that not enough is
being done to
protect Indian students in
Australia.
"It seems to me that
there is continuing anxiety in
this sort of increasingly
globalised world that students
from here may be at risk and
that the administrations of the
universities, the cities, the
police, the political leadership
could do a lot more," he said.
"That is the feeling
generally and I think that could
be a broad assessment of the
feeling here right now."

Ownership of the land is

The foreigner and the Indonesian

Hotels offer up human bed-warmers

International hotel chain
Holiday Inn is offering a trial
human bed-warming
service at three hotels in
Britain this month.
If requested, a willing
staff member at two of the
chain's London hotels and one
in the northern English city of
Manchester will dress in an all-
in-one fleece sleeper suit
before slipping between the
sheets.
"The new Holiday Inn
bed-warmers service is a bit like
having a giant hot water bottle in
your bed," Holiday Inn
spokeswoman Jane Bednall
said in an emailed statement.
The bed-warmer is
equipped with a thermometer to
24
measure the bed's
required temperature of 20
degrees Celsius.
Holiday Inn said the
warmer would be fully dressed
and leave the bed before the
guest occupied it.
The chain could not
confirm if the warmer would
shower first, but said hair would
be covered.
H o l i d a y I n n
spokeswoman Florence Eavis
said the "innovative" bed-
warming method was a
response to Britain's recent cold
weather and marked the launch
of 3,200 new Holiday Inns
worldwide.
She could not explain
why the beds were not being but
warmed by hot water
bottles or electric blankets, but
admitted the human method
was quirky.
Holiday Inn is promoting
the service with the help of
sleep expert Chris Idzikowski,
director of the Edinburgh Sleep
Centre, who said the idea could
help people sleep.
"There's plenty of
scientific evidence to show that
sleep starts at the beginning of
the night when body
temperature starts to drop," he
said.
"A warm bed -
approximately 20 to 24 degrees
Celsius - is a good way to start
this process whereas a cold
bed would inhibit sleep.”

'No big deal': drunk sumo punches manager
Japan's most famous sumo wrestler is in hot water for getting drunk during a
grand slam tournament and punching one of his managers.
Mongolian Asashoryu Akinori is one of only two grand champions in Japanese sumo, and is
regarded as one of the greatest
wrestlers in the sport's history.
But he is also known as a
perennial bad boy.
Once again he's fallen
foul of the sport's conservative
authorities for getting drunk
after the sixth day of the Tokyo
tournament and then punching
his manager.
When asked about the
incident Asashoryu replied that
he always did this sort of thing
and that it was no big deal.
The 154-kilogram
Mongolian is just one victory
away from winning the
tournament.
