MPR adds another website

JAKARTA: The People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) launched another website on Wednesday to provide the public with more information on the activities of the Assembly.

The launching ceremony was marked with a discussion on the role of the internet in the process of democratization.

One of the key speeches was delivered by deputy Assembly speaker from the Indonesian Military (TNI)/National Police faction Lt. Gen. Agus Widjojo and another by Minister of Information and Communication Syamsul Muarif.

Head of the Assembly's Publication Bureau Aip Suherman said the new website would be a complement to the existing homepage: www.mpr.go.id.

The public can now access MPR's new website: www.gatsu06.com. Gatsu06 is an abbreviation of Jalan Gatot Subroto No. 6 -- the actual street address of the Assembly building.

The www.mpr.go.id would continue to be updated daily, while gatsu06 was set to be updated on a weekly basis, Aip added. -JP
