US expresses 'regret' over Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono graft claims

INDONESIA has protested strongly to Washington over Australian news reports, 
based on WikiLeaks out of the US Jakarta embassy, accusing President Susilo 
Bambang Yudhoyono of abuses of power and implicating him in corrupt behaviour. 

Called into the Foreign Ministry yesterday morning, US ambassador Scott Marciel 
expressed "our deepest regrets to President Yudhoyono and to the Indonesian 
people".

Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa blasted the reports, carried yesterday by The 
Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, as "completely without foundation" against 
an administration that had focused on good governance and combating corruption.

"That is why what is being reported is especially galling, not only to 
President Yudhoyono and his family, but most of all to the Indonesian nation 
itself." Mr Natalegawa said the administration would demand a right of reply 
from the newspapers.

The reports, based on confidential cables out of the US embassy in Jakarta and 
obtained by the newspapers under a deal with WikiLeaks' Julian Assange, were 
published as Indonesia's Vice-President Boediono was about to meet Acting Prime 
Minister Wayne Swan in Canberra.

The cables, according to the reports, have Dr Yudhoyono intervening to stop a 
graft case against Taufik Kiemas, influential husband of former president 
Megawati Sukarnoputri and suspected of financial links to tycoon Tomy Winata 
and other Chinese-Indonesian businessmen.

The response of the President, who made no comment yesterday, was "very 
rational, not emotional", Mr Natalegawa said.

But State Secretary Sudi Silalahi said First Lady Kristiani Herawati Yudhoyono 
cried upon reading the stories, in which she is depicted by a 2006 embassy 
cable as "increasingly seeking to profit personally" from the presidency.

The reports are likely to hit Dr Yudhoyono's administration hard, and not only 
because his has been the most Washington-friendly Jakarta government in the 
democratic post-Suharto era.

The President's reputation for honesty is a huge political asset for an 
administration that, especially since his re-election in July 2009 for a second 
five years, has come across as vacillating and, at cabinet level, 
under-talented.

Dr Yudhoyono and presidential officials have been hesitating about whether and 
how to reshuffle cabinet and eject troublesome parties from the coalition.

There is further damage in that the cables name two informants conveying 
damaging information to the embassy as senior presidential adviser T.B. 
Silalahi and Co-ordinating Minister for People's Welfare Agung Laksono.
