A 24-year-old man identified only by the initials AS is suspected of defrauding residents and a number of shop owners in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan. He allegedly collected money with the claim that it would fund the handling of forest and land fires, known locally as karhutla. The amounts gathered in the supposed appeal reached up to 8 million rupiah. The fundraising turned out to be a fraud rather than a genuine collection for firefighting work.
