JAKARTA: Former military chief Gen. Wiranto, who some have

cases, will be taking on a new role as the voice of a cartoon
character in a nationally-produced cartoon series.

According to Boy Rival, director of the PT Bening production
company, Wiranto would dub the voice of an elephant character in
the Kancil folk tale.

Yenni Rachman. The series will also present forgotten folk songs
with a backdrop of traditional gamelan music.

a compilation album of classic Indonesian love songs. -- Antara
