Shock in store for Habibi!

CILEGON, West Java: A villager eager to promote the Indonesian
Masyumi Islamic Political Party received a nasty shock when
climbing a tree to position a party flag in front of his house.

Habibi, 32, was blissfully unaware that the electricity wires
running through the tree and into his house in Ciwaduk village
were dangerous, that was until he brushed against them with an
iron flagpole he was carrying.

Cilegon police precinct chief Lt. Col. Irawan Dahlan said the
shock flung the hapless villager out of the mango tree and left
him sprawling on the ground.

A shocking start to the campaign, Antara reported. (pan)
