Sukarnoputri too busy to meet with Howard
Indonesia says its President will be too busy to meet the Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, when he visits Bali next month to mark the first anniversary of the bombings.

The Indonesian Foreign Minister, Hassan Wirajuda, has told a regular parliamentary hearing that Mr Howard had wanted to discuss terrorism cooperation with Megawati Sukarnoputri.

Mr Wirajuda says Mrs Megawati will be tied up with a visit by the Algerian President on the weekend of October 12.

Asia's way of saying Fuck you to someone they don't like.

1. You mean they don't like Howard?????
I still prefer the simple and direct 'Fuck You' approach which was used by someone I know earlier this year when Howard showed up in what was left of his street trying to find people to co-operate while he hugged them for the media. I guess Megawati can't get away with the direct approach...

btw, have you ever read this from back in the days just after Tampa?
I loved the message on her answering machine:

EXCLUSIVE TO THE CHASER!
Megawati’s Voicemail Message:

“Hi, you’ve phoned Megawati. I’m not in right now, but if you leave your name and number after the beep, I’ll endeavour never to get back to you. If you’re ringing to suggest I should crack down on people smuggling, press one. If you’d like me to pull the military out of Irian Jaya or Aceh, press two. Or, if you wish to be put through to me directly, then stop telling me how I should run my country.”
