Versions of article<\/p>\n
From Kompas<\/p>\n
With reference to the letter written by Dr. St Suwarsono from
\nYogyakarta (Kompas, Dec. 20, 1996) I would like to clarify the
\nmatter as follows:<\/p>\n
1. It is true that I sent my article about Human Rights and
\nAsian values to two media: The Jakarta Post and Kompas. I had
\ninformed the two publications earlier and asked for their
\napproval. Both newspapers did not have any objections.<\/p>\n
2. This was not the first time I did such a thing. Recently, I
\nsent an article to the Post, which they published. The Indonesian
\nversion of the same article was also published in D&R. My
\nrationale for doing so was that if I write to the Post, I usually
\nget a reaction from foreign friends, both at home and abroad.
\nHowever, many people, mainly students, will not get the chance to
\nread the article unless it is also published by local papers,
\nsuch as Kompas.<\/p>\n
For that purpose, I asked the Post's permission to allow me to
\nsend the Indonesian version of my article to an Indonesian
\nnewspaper so that it could be read by my Indonesian friends,
\ninforming the latter paper that I had sent the English version of
\nthe article to the former.<\/p>\n
Hopefully, this should clarify the case, and thank you for
\nyour attention.<\/p>\n
