Students call for monitoring of Susilo

JAKARTA: Student activists grouped under the Indonesian Muslim Students Action Front (KAMMI) appealed to the public on Tuesday to monitor Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Jusuf Kalla's first 100 days in office.

Yuli Widy Astono, chairman of the group, suggested that the public and other organizations maintain a critical stand on the new president and vice president, who will be sworn in on Oct. 20.

During his campaign, Susilo pledged to eradicate corruption, uphold civilian supremacy, resist foreign intervention and to bring prosperity to the country. -- JP
