Cabinet Reshuffle, a mystery
Make sure to ask the following people after reading this article: 1) President SBY himself, 2) Mr Kurdi Mustofa (president's secretary), or maybe 3) Ibu Ani (in case she overheards, but I'm not sure if reshuffle is a dinner time discussion). "If you got the information from other than these guys, just consider that a rumor," one investment banker said. Don't ask VP Jusuf Kalla because he is already bored with the issue. But be careful if you send SMS to SBY himself because he already warned 'not to make fuss' the cabinet reshuffle thing.
The minute after SBY made the statement, various parties have even spoken louder on the reshuffle. They simply ignored SBY's demand for a 'silentium magnum'.
This morning, for example, Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Chairman Tifatul Sembiring urged president to replace three ministers (Coordinating Minister for the Economy Dr Boediono, Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare Aburizal Bakrie, and Minister of Finance Dr Sri Mulyani Indrawati). Mr Sembiring didn't mention about ministers from his party (three of them) or MSOE Sugiharto who is considered increasingly a PKS supporter (initially endorsed by United Development Party or PPP).
Yesterday, former president Abdurrahman Wahid's National Awakening Party (PKB) said 18 ministers should be replaced. "We need three posts," the party said. Meanwhile, Golkar Party had reportedly proposed several names to be ministers in the reshuffled cabinet.
Golkar politicians have also demanded SBY to talk eye-to-eye with VP JK on reshuffle issue (a sign that JK has been left behind in many decision making process because of stronger suspicious between the two camps regarding 2009?).
Whether SBY will reshuffle the cabinet or not, it's not clear. But I'm stunned with the statement published in Tempointeraktif.com few minutes ago from Mr M Iqbal Wibisono, chairman of Central Java chapter of Golkar Party. Mr Wibisono urged SBY to learn about leadership from Soeharto especially two issues that Yudhoyono don't have, decisive & wisdom. Well, I'm sure Soeharto had taught SBY for almost two decades about that. But I'm not sure if this time around Soeharto willing to do that unless he got assurance from court that he wouldn't have to stand trials. Teaching means he's healthy, and that's not good for Soeharto's image as an ill person that unable to stand trial anymore.
