More Golkar flag burning reported

PURWOKERTO, Central Java: Hundreds of Golkar's yellow flags
have gone missing since Friday, including dozens which were
pulled down in passing by PDI Perjuangan supporters cruising
local streets on motorcycles and other vehicles on Saturday.

Sudiro, of the local Golkar office, deplored the vandalism.
"This is a lesson for us, though. But we are not going to take
revenge, let them have their fill. It's the people who will
decide," he said.

Separately, in Wonosobo regency, hundreds of students of the
Institute of Koran Studies also burned Golkar flags in their
commemoration of the first anniversary of the reform movement.

"(Former president) Soeharto is a product of Golkar," a
student said, explaining why they burned the flags.

Also on Saturday, the Justice Party held free blood pressure
checks and medical services at a spot near the Arcawinangun
Market. Women shoppers stopped to have their blood pressure
taken. (45)
