And we think the campaigning here is bad. Today in Indonesia, there are rules even if they are broken, but in the old days....but still a mass wedding?
Mega's supporters defy law, run wild in streets
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta/Bandung/Mataram
Thousands of supporters of President Megawati Soekarnoputri hit the streets of the capital on Thursday, ignoring strict rulings issued by the General Elections Commission (KPU) that ban outdoor campaigning...In Bandung, Megawati's camp also appeared to be involved in unlawful campaigning by organizing a mass wedding ceremony for 41 couples -- most of whom were scavengers, poor laborers and homeless people.
Her campaign managers also paid for a one-night stay at the five-star Horison Hotel in the capital of West Java province for the couples.
All of the participants in the ceremony wore T-shirts bearing the images of Megawati and Hasyim.
