Susilo cancels Alor visit

Sat, 04 Dec 2004

KUPANG, East Nusa Tenggara: President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has canceled his planned visit to Alor regency, East Nusa Tenggara. Susilo was set to visit the earthquake-hit regency on Sunday to observe the current situation.

Umbu Saga Anakaka, a spokesman for the East Nusa Tenggara provincial government, said he was informed by a palace official that the president could not proceed with his plan as he had to chair a cabinet meeting and visit Yogyakarta on the same day.

Alor was rocked by a major earthquake on Nov. 13, killing at least 34 people. -- JP
