Hasyim irked over far-fetched promises

YOGYAKARTA: The running mate of presidential candidate
Megawati Soekarnoputri, Hasyim Muzadi, lashed out on Monday at
candidates who made unrealistic promises during the election
campaign.

"The president and vice president used to be powerful, but
after reform their power has been encroached upon by powerful
business lobbies and legislatures.

"I am surprised that the candidates are still making far-
fetched promises to people during the election campaign," Hasyim
said in Yogyakarta. -- JP
