Is Akbar truly forgetful?

From Republika

The alleged corruption concerning the Rp 40 billion funds of the State Logistics Agency (Bulog), in which some popular names like Akbar Tanjung, Haryono Suyono, etc, are involved, has shown that these people have played their role well.

If Akbar Tandjung does not remember at all about the use of the nonbudgetary Bulog funds, apparently he is an unsuitable leader due to his bad memory. A leading figure as prominent as Akbar Tanjung, a former senior official of the functional group (Golkar), several-times minister and now House Speaker, should have a memory better than that of ordinary people.

As a former leader of university students such as the Islamic Students Association, a former "66 generation" member, a Golkar leader and a national figure, Akbar is not just anybody. He is just like the latest version of Windows, a multitasking and entertaining piece of software.

Therefore, I think that Akbar is only pretending. He must still remember that Bulog funds have been spent on many things, perhaps related to his political party or his own interests.
