Guruh cancels Bali wedding plan

JAKARTA: Guruh Soekarnoputra has canceled two of his three
planned wedding receptions, in Bali and in Blitar, in tribute to
the victims of the Bali terrorist attack last weekend.

"This cancellation will show our deep concern over the bomb
blast that killed so many people and made so many more suffer,"
he said in a statement.

Guruh -- former president Sukarno's youngest son from his wife
Fatmawati -- along with his wife Guseynova Sabina Padmavati will
also give all the gifts from their upcoming reception in Jakarta
to the victims of the Bali bomb attack.

Guruh, the youngest brother of President Megawati
Soekarnoputri, also expressed concern over the bomb blast outside
the Philippine consulate in the North Sulawesi capital of Manado
on the same day as the Bali attack.

Guruh paid a visit to the injured victims of the Bali bombing
on Wednesday, prior to his other planned receptions that will
take place on Oct. 19 and Oct. 20 in Jakarta. -- JP
