'PDI-P contributes little to nation'

BANDUNG, West Java: Megawati Soekarnoputri, chairwoman of the
Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) said on
Saturday that her party had contributed only a little to the
nation.

"If we look at the history of the nation, we should be ashamed
that our party has contributed so little compared to what the
country has contributed to us," she said.

She pointed out that the people had placed great confidence in
the party to win the 1999 elections, but had become complacent
since.

"We are still minding our own interests," she said in front of
about 30,000 party supporters.

She called on party members to listen to the people's
aspirations and for party legislators to stop considering their
personal interests in tending to their duties. -- JP
