Cobra campaigns for PDI of Struggle

Cobra campaigns for PDI of Struggle

BANDUNG (JP): Supporters of the Indonesian Democratic Party of
Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) in Bandung and elsewhere in the country
are notorious for their fanaticism.

On the first day of street rallies here on Wednesday, they
appeared frightening. Many painted their faces red -- the party's
color -- and wore bull masks while riding motorcycles without
mufflers.

But Wednesday's best attraction was a campaigner on a
motorcycle with a cobra around his neck while he roared around
the city.

Obviously, the deadly snake enjoyed the festivities. With its
long neck sticking outward, it looked like it was dancing and
swaying all the way. (43)
