Harmoko proves his loyalty

KUPANG, East Nusa Tenggara: Despite his busy campaigning
schedule, Golkar boss Harmoko has proven his faith to his wife is
not fading.

When presenting a handkerchief to a would-be first time voter
during a campaign here Saturday, he assured her it was no "love
handkerchief".

"This is just a gift. If I give you a love handkerchief, I'm
afraid my wife will be jealous," he said to the laughter of
several thousand Golkar supporters.

The handkerchief was inside a yellow jacket he gave to Indra,
a third grader of a Kupang senior high school, Antara reported
yesterday.

Then Harmoko, who is also the Minister of Information, sang a
local folk song titled Fragrant handkerchief.

"When the election day comes, don't forget to prick the center
and don't bother with what's on your left or right," he said,
referring to Golkar's position on the ballot paper. (pan)
