Akbar to set up foundation

JAKARTA: Former Golkar Party leader Akbar Tandjung is
considering to set up a foundation that will conduct research and
monitoring of social and political development.

Akbar, who had just lost party leadership to Jusuf Kalla, said
on Tuesday he could not stay away from politics because he grew
up in politics and youth organizations.

"Some suggest that I should set up a foundation or a research
center. But, I will think about it after January," he said.

According to Akbar, the first thing that he will do after
losing the leadership is to do physical exercise and spend time
with his family.

In the next couple of days, Akbar will fly to the United
States to visit his daughter who is studying there. - JP
