Nonvoters throw karaoke party

SURABAYA: Students here seem to have unlimited ways of
demonstrating their opposition to yesterday's general election.

As people queued and perspired at polling stations, about 100
members of the Golput Students Movement fished in the Rolak
Ketintang river to attract attention near a major road.

Golput (White group) refers to people protesting the five-
yearly election by not voting or spoiling their ballot papers.

Elsewhere, about 50 Golput activists at the Surabaya State
Institute of Islamic Studies threw a Karaoke party and played
football.

"The election is a mere political joke," said a poster they
had erected on a roadside. (nur/pan)
