Guess What?

Guess What?

For some men, a mustache is a symbol of masculinity. Others
say they have one because they are too lazy to shave.

Whatever the reason, a man who suddenly shaves his long-time
thick mustache will look quite strange, sometimes even funny, to
those who are familiar with his "original" look.

This recently happened to Jakarta Metropolitan Police
spokesman Lt. Col. Iman Haryatna, who shaved his thick mustache,
his famous trademark, just a few days ago.

With his new appearance, Iman, whose name and face appear
almost every day in both print and electronic media, received a
number of telephone calls as well as criticism about his new
look.

Some of the press corps linked his new appearance with the
recent events in the capital, such as the July 27 riot and the
scandals involving two city police officers, which have irritated
the National Police force.

Others said it was a sign that he would remain tight-lipped to
reporters' questions about serious cases.

Or is there any connection with his new post as the Tangerang
Police chief?

"None of them are correct. I'm tired of pulling the white
hairs out of my mustache, so I shaved it," said Iman, a golf
enthusiast.

A reporter commented on his new look, saying: "I don't like
his new appearance simply because I've introduced him to my
readers as the officer with the sexy mustache." (bsr)
