Excuse me, may we interrupt?

JAKARTA (JP): Anyone speaking in support of President
Abdurrahman Wahid must be prepared to face a three-pronged
attack.

Ade Komaruddin from the Golkar Party faction, Zulvan Lindan of
the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle faction and Alvin Lie
of the Reform faction have formed a "personal coalition" to
attack anyone speaking out in favor of the President during
proceedings in the Assembly's Commission C, charged with
deliberating and issuing draft decrees evaluating the
presidential and state institutions' progress reports.

Ade said the three would take turns launching formal
interruptions to whoever was chairing the meeting.

"Like yesterday, when a member from PDI Perjuangan made a
statement supporting Abdurrahman, we took turns making
interruptions," Ade told journalists with a laugh.

The three members also were the initiators of the
interpellation motion in the House of Representatives. (dja)
