Megawati's daughter supports her mom

BATAM, Riau: Puan Maharani, the daughter of presidential candidate Megawati Soekarnoputri, called on Muslim women here on Wednesday to support the presidential bid of Megawati, the only female candidate in the upcoming election.

She said Muslim women had proven in the past that they were able to lead their nations to prosperity.

"Megawati has also shown that she is able to lead the nation, so she deserves another term," she told dozens of women at the haj dormitory in Batam. -- JP
