        "summary": "Who is to be kissed? From Interaktif It is characteristic of President Habibie to kiss visitors on both cheeks, both on formal and informal occasions. A handshake is followed by a kiss on both cheeks, regardless whether it is a man or a woman. People wonder if it is Indonesian, European, American or Middle Eastern culture. It creates a certain intimacy that seemingly leaves a deep impression on the persons involved. Wait a minute! Not every visitor can become the recipient.",

A handshake<br>\nis followed by a kiss on both cheeks, regardless whether it is a<br>\nman or a woman. People wonder if it is Indonesian, European,<br>\nAmerican or Middle Eastern culture. It creates a certain intimacy<br>\nthat seemingly leaves a deep impression on the persons involved.<\/p>\n<p>Wait a minute! Not every visitor can become the recipient. One<br>\nmust be chosen and have access. Many people are not given the<br>\nopportunity. Is the practice discriminatory? A selection is<br>\nindeed necessary because there are many people. That is right,<br>\nbut even when the number of visitors is limited not all of them<br>\nget the honor of receiving a kiss. The people sure not to be<br>\noverlooked are Muladi, Akbar Tandjung, Amien Rais, Kwik Kian Gie,<br>\nAhmad Tirtosudiro, Gus Dur and his daughter, and many more,<br>\nperhaps in the thousands.<\/p>\n<p>Because Habibie is a public figure seen every day on<br>\ntelevision, his behavior will be easily imitated by many people<br>\nbecause of the paternalistic culture of the Indonesians. I would<br>\nsuggest that the habit of kissing visitors be abolished. Let us<br>\nreturn to our national identity, i.e. the usual method of shaking<br>\nhands, using one or two hands. Let us not be confused by various<br>\npractices. Just one method is right for us.<\/p>\n<p>ADE ANAS SOLIHIN<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
