JAKARTA: Muslim cleric Cholil Bisri, a deputy speaker of the
People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), is in
critical condition and will be flown to his hometown of Rembang
in Central Java on Friday morning from Jakarta by helicopter, his
sister-in law said on Thursday. "It's the wish of Pak Cholil to
return home," she added. Cholil was admitted to the MMC hospital
last week with a serious liver ailment and dangerously low blood
pressure. The cofounder of the National Awakening Party (PKB) was
discharged from the Medistra hospital a few months ago with
similar problems. --JP
