100 million rupiah
An
Indonesian businessman plans to throw 100 million rupiah (US$10,600) out of an
airplane over the capital this Sunday as a publicity stunt to promote his new
book.
“I want to create a rain of money in Jakarta,” author and motivator speaker Tung Desem Waringin said, “It’s a little bit crazy, but it’s marketing.”
Police spokesman Col I Ketut Untung said authorities may not allow the plan to go forward because it could draw huge crowds and cause chaos.

The 42-year-old Tung said instead of opting for regular advertising for his book, he came up with an idea that “will make people happy.”
