JAKARTA: Planted on the ground near its main gate was a recent addition to the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park): a sign which says that the recreational area is under the control and management of the Indonesian State Secretariat Ministry.
The sign was put up last week, staff at the park told CNA. That same day, the government announced that it was taking over management of the park from a foundation linked to the country’s former strongman Soeharto.
