Mega to visit father's grave

JAKARTA: Outgoing President Megawati Soekarnoputri will pay homage to her father, founding president Sukarno, and is slated to visit his grave on Monday in Blitar, East Java.

She will spend a few hours in the city before flying to Bitung, North Sulawesi, to inaugurate a new container port on Tuesday.

The President has reduced her activities since her electoral loss to former security minister Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

Megawati will end her tenure on Oct. 20, when her rival Susilo will be sworn in as the country's sixth president. -- JP
