Jakarta, NU Online
Jakarta Governor Sutiyoso has demanded that the Australian government offer an apology for disrespectful behavior of its police who served him with a summons in Sydney on Tuesday afternoon.
Sutiyoso has been invited by the Australian government to revive "sister city" between Jakarta and New South Wales, but when he was in his room at Shangri-La Hotel in Sydney on Tuesday afternoon, two police barged into the room without permission and thrusting a summons toward him to testify at an inquiry into the death of five Australian journalists in East Timor in 1975.<>
"Through the Foreign Affairs Ministry, I will demand that the Australian government clarify the incident that has happened to me," Sutiyoso said at the Jakarta City Hall here on Wednesday, hours after arriving from Sydney.
Sutiyoso said he went to Sydney at the invitation of the New South Wales government for sister city cooperation between Jakarta and Sydney.
"I arrived in Sydney on Sunday (May 28) and was officially received by the local government," Sutiyoso said, adding that he attended several programs on Sunday and Tuesday.
The Jakarta governor said he planned to meet with Foreign Affairs Minister Hassan Wirayuda on Wednesday to explain details of the incident that befell him, and to ask the minister to clarify it to the Australian government.
Sutiyoso also threatened to review the sister city cooperation with New South Wales if Australia failed to offer an official apology. (ant/dar)
