POLITICAL PROXIMITY: First gentleman Taufik Kiemas (left) gives a drink of water to a child during a dangdut show in Sleman, Yogyakarta, while Yogyakarta Governor Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X looks on. The dangdut show was organized on Sunday to commemorate the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan)'s 30th anniversary. That the sultan, a possible Golkar presidential candidate in next year's elections, attended the celebration seemed to indicate the closeness of the two parties.
