TASIKMALAYA, West Java: State Minister of National Development
Planning Ginandjar Kartasasmita is proud of learning how to dance
yesterday to Dangndut music, often sneered at as music for poor
people with no taste.

After addressing a huge Golkar rally, Ginandjar joined a crowd
dancing on the stage to a live performance by local musicians.

"This is the first time that I have learned to dance," he told
The Jakarta Post afterwards.

Ginandjar arrived at the rally one and a half hours late but
Golkar supporters waited patiently at the venue thanks to blaring
Dangndut music. (ahy)
