Party acronyms confuse governor

Party acronyms confuse governor

BANDAR LAMPUNG, Lampung: PADI, PNI, PSII, PPIM, PSP, PBB,
PUDI, PID, IPKI, MKGR, PCD ... Confused? Don't worry, you are not
alone.

When addressing a seminar here on Tuesday, Governor Oemarsono
embarrassed himself by repeatedly saying PSSI (Indonesian Soccer
Association) when what he meant was PSII (Indonesian United Islam
Party).

The governor's slip of the tongue was strongly protested by a
PSII activist who attended the seminar on civilian-military
relations sponsored by a local journalists association.

"I don't know why you mixed up PSSI and PSII. You know PSII
was founded in 1905 when you hadn't been born," the party
activist said.

Oemarsono apologized unreservedly for his mix-up, Antara
reported.

Yeah ... acronyms of the 48 political parties are just as
confusing as their leaders' jargon. (pan)
