Guess What? Laksamana Sukardi
Guess What? Laksamana Sukardi
Laksamana Sukardi looked proud, amused and relaxed all at the
same time on August 22 during a private function where his
father, Gandhi Sukardi, was receiving an Award from the
Indonesian Museum of Records for being the most published letter
writer in The Jakarta Post.
Laksamana, who obviously inherited his father's flair for
writing, appears to be the antithesis of his father Gandhi, who
is impulsive and comical.
But Laks, as he is fondly called, privately confessed that he
is very proud of his father, especially for the honor he received
today.
Gandhi, who is not known for keeping his thoughts private,
nonetheless let out a secret during his thank-you speech. He did
not believe that Laks actually had read the award-winning
letters, to which Laks, in his inimical way, only smiled somewhat
guiltily.
Now, the former state minister of investment/state enterprises
development is starting an online news, current affairs and
analyses service. So watch out detik.com, astaga.com and other
established news services, here comes laksamana.net! But don't
forget to set aside a page or two for father Gandhi. (Dewi
