Golkar finds PPP untasteful

MEDAN: Golkar is not amused by the United Development Party (PPP) supporter who, at a rally, made fun of the shaman who has admitted killing 42 women.

Golkar's local campaign manager, Marzuki, called the PPP supporter's stunt "unethical".

The supporter wore a large cap Monday with the inscription that shaman Datuk was not a PPP member.

The supporter captured nation media attention by poking fun at the serial killer, whose crimes came to light last week, 11 months after his alleged first murder.

Marzuki said the authorities should work harder to close the case on the shaman, Antara reported. (pan)
