Refleksi : Bagi yang berpendapat bahwa SBY akan menceraikan salah satu dari dua 
orang kekasihnya, pasti keliru! Karena cinta kedua-duanya dirangkul.

Minister: 'SBY Won't Abandon Sri Mulyani and Boediono'

House of Representatives Speaker Marzuki Alie said over the weekend that 
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono continued to support Vice President Boediono 
and Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati, who are under pressure to resign 
for their roles in the bailout of Bank Century last year.

Marzuki, a senior member of Yudhoyono's Democratic Party, said there was no 
rift within the cabinet, and denounced personal political statements that 
muddled the ongoing House investigation into the Rp 6.7 trillion ($710 million) 
bailout.

"SBY is a consistent person, he won't abandon Sri Mulyani and Boediono," 
Marzuki told journalists in Bogor on Saturday, referring to Yudhoyono.

"There's no rift in the cabinet. SBY will take responsibility. He is the one 
who really knows what's happening in the cabinet," Marzuki said.

Analysts have been predicting the imminent demise of Boediono, who was central 
bank governor at the time of the Bank Century bailout in November 2008, and Sri 
Mulyani, who agreed with the decision to save the troubled lender. 

There has been rampant speculation that figures within the Golkar Party, as 
well as from other members of Yudhoyono's coalition government, were plotting 
to oust the vice president and finance minister in the hope of getting their 
own officials into the powerful positions.

Boediono and Sri Mulyani are respected technocrats, but analysts have said they 
are vulnerable because they do not have a political base.

However, Marzuki's comments indicate that Yudhoyono, who left for an official 
visit to Europe on Sunday, still backs the pair. His comments may yet help turn 
the tide in favor of the vice president and finance minister.

Bambang Soesatyo, a Golkar lawmaker who claimed to have incriminating evidence 
against Sri Mulyani relating to the bailout, was forced to backtrack on Sunday 
after the finance minister released a videotape that disputed his claims. 

Bambang lashed out at Mulyani on Friday after she said in a newspaper interview 
that she doubted Golkar would be fair to her in investigating Bank Century, and 
also criticized its chairman, Aburizal Bakrie.
