PDI reveals gender side<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian Democratic Party is dying to see
\nthe country have its first female president, or at least a woman
\nprovincial governor.<\/p>\n
The minority party reckoned yesterday that Indonesia was
\nentering the age of the service industry where smiles and
\nhospitality were unnegotiable.<\/p>\n
\"So the key to success is to give a greater role to women in
\nthe industry,\" PDI legislator Soedaryanto told an Assembly
\nplenary meeting.<\/p>\n
\"Hospitality and smiles are women's natural job while men
\nstill need one to two decades to learn how to smile,\" said the
\nspokesman of the party whose woman politician Fatimah Achmad is a
\ndeputy House speaker.<\/p>\n
PDI said men were more suited to the manufacturing industry
\nwhere they become stern, unsmiling foremen whose main job is to
\nmake laborers toil.<\/p>\n
\"They (men) will tell laborers to plug their ears to
\nconcentrate and to shut their mouths so they won't demand too
\nmuch,\" he said. (pan)<\/p>",
