Convict unable to find pineapple<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: Before entering the polling booth a prisoner at Kerobokan
\nprison, Badung, Bali, seemed confident while continuing to
\nwhisper to himself. Other inmates, however, smiled when the
\nmiddle-aged man remained in the booth for more than 10 minutes
\nwhile he continued to search for his favorite political party.<\/p>\n
\"I could not find the pineapple,\" the convicted thief said in
\ndesperation after leaving the booth, to the laughter of his
\nfriends.<\/p>\n
Before the election the prison invited the local General
\nElections Commission (KPUD) to teach the prisoners how to vote.
\nThe commission, however, could not use the symbols of the 24
\nparties during its explanation to the prisoners, so it replaced
\nthe symbols with images of fruit.<\/p>\n
The thief's favored party was represented by a pineapple.<\/p>\n
\"The KPUD people said my party used a pineapple. But I
\ncouldn't find it on the ballot papers,\" he complained. -- JP<\/p>",
