Bekasi – Hundreds of Jati Mulya villagers in Tambun Selatan district, Bekasi, rallied Thursday at car assembly company PT IndoMobil Suzuki International to demand the right to collect and resell metal shreds from the factory.

"We want the company to pay more attention to us. We can handle their waste management. Most of the residents are jobless," said rally coordinator Andriyanto.

Andriyanto said the company hired people from outside the village to handle its waste and metal scraps.

The company's management did not comment on the rally. Villagers threatened to organize a larger rally if the company refused to meet their demand.
