Amended Constitution published in Javanese

BANTUL, Yogyakarta: Constitutional Court Chief Justice Jimly
Asshiddique presented on Sunday the amended 1945 Constitution in
Javanese to Yogyakarta Governor Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X and
Bantul Regent Idham Samawi.

The official launch of the document in Javanese was aimed at
improving people's understanding of the country's amended
Constitution.

Jimly, who distributed around 200 free copies of the book at
the event, said the Constitution had also been translated into
Balinese and was in the process of being translated into the
Manado languages, Acehnese as well as Arabic.

The Constitutional Court, he said, had already printed 1,000
copies of the Javanese version.

"With limited time and funds, we hope local administrations
will assist us printing the book and will distribute it to
members of the public," he said. -- JP
