Model of the year

JAKARTA (JP): Many female staffers and stall attendants at the Annual Session of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) will have a little personal memento from the event.

In an almost organized fashion, they would persuade and then lineup notable Assembly members or figures to pose with them.

The division of labor also looked well planned. Some would persuade the figures to take photos with them while others were already lining-up for the photo.

But it seems that the most popular "models" had one of two traits: they either had a moustache or were of Arabic descent.

Not surprisingly National Police chief Gen. Rusdihardjo, Foreign Affairs Minister Alwi Shihab and Assembly member Fadel Muhammad were in high demand. (dja/nvn)
