Sports-mad dad drags son along

JAKARTA (JP): Sports junkie Faisal Abu Sammah, 32, could not
find an easy way to get out of his babysitting duties so he
decided to take his 13-month-old son, Rilo Pambudi, with him to
the Games.

Faisal said yesterday that he and Rilo had been wandering the
Senayan Sports Complex since Saturday.

"I took Rilo to the opening ceremony last Saturday and he
seemed to enjoy it," he said. Rilo, asleep in Faisal's arms, was
in no position to confirm this.

Faisal, who lives in Ujungpandang, South Sulawesi, has been in
Jakarta for six months accompanying his wife who has been
attending a special course at the Attorney-General's Office.

"As a sport fan, I feel lucky that while I am in the capital
Jakarta is hosting the Games," he said. (10)
