Tommy hospitalized again

JAKARTA: The youngest son of former president Soeharto, Hutomo
"Tommy" Mandala Putra, was reportedly taken to the Army's Gatot
Subroto Hospital in Central Jakarta, on Tuesday, for the further
examination of a suspected tumor behind one of his eyes.

Now an inmate of the Nusakambangan island prison in Central
Java, Tommy has been given one week for the medical examination,
said his lawyer Elza Syarief. "But doctors said the examination
could take one month to complete," he added.

Tommy was convicted for the murder of a Supreme Court judge
who sent him to jail for a graft case and also for illegal arms
possession.

According to Tempo News Room, in contrast to the scene at the
hospital last month when Tomy underwent an examination there, no
security guards were observed in the vicinity of the hospital.

Tommy's elder sister Siti Hutami "Mamiek" Endang Adiningsih
was the first to visit him. Elza said the rest of the family
would visit later that day, including his father. Meanwhile, Siti
Hardiyanti Hastuti "Tutut" Rukmana -- presidential hopeful and
Tomy's eldest sister -- was campaigning for the Concern for the
Nation Functional Party (PKPB). -- JP
