\nJakarta<\/p>\n
President Megawati Soekarnoputri hosted a breaking of the fast
\ngathering on Tuesday evening at her 'new residence' on Jl. Teuku
\nUmar, Central Jakarta, followed by prayers.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of guests came to the gathering held in the house at
\nJl. Teuku Umar No. 33, next to Megawati's official residence at
\nJl. Teuku Umar Nos. 27 and 29.<\/p>\n
Megawati's siblings, including Guntur, Sukmawati and Guruh
\nwere among the guests, along with dozens of leaders of Megawati's
\nIndonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan).<\/p>\n
Noted preacher Abdullah Gymanstiar delivered the sermon after
\nthe breaking of the fast meal.<\/p>\n
It was not immediately clear if the President's family or the
\nstate has bought or rented the House for Megawati.<\/p>\n
The wall that previously separated the house from Megawati's
\nofficial residence has been dismantled, allowing people to walk
\nfreely from No. 29 to No. 33, which was previously believed to
\nbelong to businessman Sys N.S.<\/p>\n
Sys, when contacted by The Jakarta Post on Tuesday evening,
\nsaid that the house belonged to his in-laws, who had already
\nmoved two months ago to their other house on Jl. Cimahi, Central
\nJakarta.<\/p>\n
"But, I'm not sure if the house is being rented out or
\nborrowed by the President's family," said Sys, who is also a
\nmember of People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), the country's
\nhighest legislative body.<\/p>\n
"I don't think the house was sold. But my in-laws are also
\nlong-time friends of the President's family, so everything is
\npossible," Sys said.<\/p>\n
No official announcement has been made so far about the
\nPresident's latest residential circumstances.<\/p>",
