Combing Akbar's secrets

Combing Akbar's secrets

JAKARTA (JP): Would you like to know why House of Representatives Speaker Akbar Tandjung always looks so neat? He keeps a small silver comb inside his pants and uses it before making a public appearance.

He unintentionally revealed one of his best kept secrets on Friday when some reporters caught him combing his graying hair while making his way to a plenary session of Commission A for constitutional amendments.

Despite exposing his secret, Akbar was seen holding his comb during the interview. He even sometimes pointed the comb at reporters.

When the interview was over, the Golkar Party chairman walked to the restroom and finished combing his hair. (dja)
