Constitution needs amending

BOGOR, West Java: The Crescent Star Party (PBB) renewed its
demand for amendments to the 1945 Constitution on Tuesday, saying
it would help the nation emerge from the present adversities.

A PBB campaigner, Anwar Sanusi, told a crowd of about 3,000
packing the Heulang soccer field here on Tuesday that without
substantial changes, the constitution would benefit much from
status quo forces.

"Those who refuse to reform the constitution are the new
status quo forces. We must be prepared to take them on," Anwar
said.

Apart from PBB, Golkar Party, Republican Party, Workers
Solidarity Party (PSP), Independence Vanguards Party (IPKI) and
Democratic Islam Party (PID) also held their final campaign here
on Tuesday.

Supporters of the parties took to the streets following their
respective campaign rallies, but no violence was reported. (24)
