Malaysian envoy in RI will move to UN

JAKARTA: Starting from next month, Malaysian Ambassador to
Indonesia Hamidon Ali will not have to worry about either
Ambalat, migrant workers or angry protests in front of his
embassy.

As a recognition of his diplomatic skills and adroitness in
dealing with the contentious issues affecting relations between
Indonesia and Malaysia, the Malaysian government has appointed
Hamidon as the country's new permanent representative to the
United Nations in New York.

"It's confirmed. My next posting is New York," Hamidon, who
has been working in Indonesia since June 13, 2003, told The
Jakarta Post during a reception to commemorate Yemen's National
Day in Jakarta.

Hamidon and his wife, Amy Hamidon, said they enjoyed their
two-year stay in Jakarta. -- JP
