JAKARTA Mart 9th 1996 - Megawati Soekarnoputri (Mega) had the chance to meet with Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto at the State House, yesterday. The meeting of two daughters of former heads of state was -- according to Mega's term -- a personal meeting, beside discussing various woman issues.
The Indonesian Democratic party (PDI) version of Indonesian President Candidate for 1998-2003 described the atmosphere of her meeting with Bhutto as a familiar one, since they have been acquainted for a long time.
She admitted receiving a message from Bhutto. However, Megawati refused to share it. "Can't I keep it for myself?" she asked smiling.
Telling about the result of the meeting, Megawati said that it was a coincidence the two of them have known each other for so long, since Soekarno, Mega's father, was President and Zulkifar Ali Bhutto was Pakistani Prime Minister.
"I called Bhutto's father, 'uncle'", said Soekarnoputi describing her intimacy with the Bhutto family. So, there is a familiarity and friendship among them since a long time ago. Mega admitted that the second meeting with Bhutto was very exciting, both emotionally and physically. They used to contact each other only by mail.
"Of course we asked about each other's family and activities," said Mega.


In the discussion that past the time scheduled, Bhutto asked about the activities of Indonesian women. "She was very surprised to know that many Indonesian women too are active in politics. The same as in Pakistan, many women participate in political activities," Mega explained.
About the democratic movement in Asia, according to Mega, it can only be discussed in general terms, including the environmental issues and others.
Asked whether in the discussion was also mentioned about Mega's leadership in PDI, Soekarnoputri smiled and countered that as the head of Pakistan administration, of course the issue is not of her concern.
When asked further that Bhutto must have support for the appearance of women leader, Mega stated firmly that the issue was not discussed exclusively. "We agreed to feel proud and happy now that there are so many women in the national leadership who appear in various fields. And of course this will be more prominent in the future, if the opportunity comes to women," she said.
Soekarnoputri admitted to be one of Bhutto's admirer. In her opinion, Bhutto was a female figure who has a character. "I think that it is important for the women leaders in the Eastern world," said Mega.

She perceives that it is not easy to be a woman leader in countries with eastern culture. "Because we are still very much bound to one tradition and custom," said Mega.
Asked whether she has any desire to be like Bhutto (national leader), still with her charming smile, Mega walked toward her car and laughed.
The reporters did not miss the opportunity to ask about the PDI Special Congress issue which will be held by several PDI cadres. But, Soekarnoputri got up from her chair and refused to give any comment.


NOTE:
Time line Musharaff - Bhutto relation or Mahatir Muhamad - Anwar Ibrahim are similar full of political trick and intrick, which drive by global power of Finance People whose likely love discrimination democracy for young, adult and mature. Western Think-Thank still have wrong perception about Stability And Democracy on developing country, The Western Think-Thank means Stability is more importance than Democracy so they prefer to support Military-Democracy in which democracy could only survive when it lead by military people instead of civilians, but in many text-book threes no addolences, adults or mature democracy, democracy is freedom which determinate under constitution rules and need bravely to respected others existence.

Democracy need time to learn not time to control it (mature is product of learnings not product of times), it's need openness not controlled openness /repressive system against information, The Pakistan democracy failed since they have beliefs the control of information could help them to controlled terrorism, but terrorist used advanced information technology than the government. Mouth-To-Mouth telling helps more powerfully terrorist propaganda than the open information, so far as I know Human Is The Intelligent Animals they have ratio and they used it wishfully than Animals. Animals have no ratio they know just Sit, Wake, Give Hand, Attack, so I have educate my dogs, but my dogs have basically Instinct so they knew better than me which person is dangerous and which is not, they could also read condition as dangerous or not.

A Christmas Carol from Charles Dickens probably all knew it, and Scrooge we love it too in Donald Duck serie, the European called him Dagobert Duck, so they dont knew that he is actually Dickens Scrooge. So here is the stories.

One Christmas Eve long ago, Ebenezer Scrooge sat in his counting house, counting his money.
Scrooge was a miserable, mean old man without a friend in the world.
He was so mean that he only let his secretary, Bob Cratchit have one holiday a year.
Scrooge had received an invitation to Christmas dinner by his nephew. But Scrooge didn't want to go.
"Bah! Humbug!" said Scrooge. "I don't like Christmas."

That night as Scrooge ate his dinner a ghost appeared in front of him.
"I am the ghost of your old friend Jacob Marley" said the ghost. "I have come to tell you that you must change your ways."
Scrooge felt very scared.
That night Scrooge was visited by three more ghosts.

The first was the Ghost of Christmas Past.
She took Scrooge into the past to see a party.
Scrooge saw himself with lots of old friends.
They were singing and dancing and having fun.
"I remember that!" said Scrooge.

Next the Ghost of Christmas Present appeared.
He took Scrooge to see Bob Cratchit's house.
There he saw Bob and his family.
They didn't have any Christmas presents because they were poor, but they were all having fun and singing Christmas songs.
Then the ghost took Scrooge to his nephew's house.
They had a big Christmas dinner and were playing games.
"Poor Scrooge!" said his nephew.
"He's the only one who never has fun."
The ghost took Scrooge all over the world.
Everywhere they stopped, from lighthouses to coal mines, everyone was having fun celebrating Christmas.

Scrooge found himself at home again and a new ghost appeared.
This was the Ghost of Christmas Future.
He took Scrooge to see an old man sitting in a room all alone.
He wasn't having fun at all.
"That's me!" moaned Scrooge.
"From this day on, I will do my best to make people happy and treat every day like Christmas day," he promised.

The next morning it was Christmas day.
Scrooge rushed out of bed and went into town.
He bought the biggest goose he could find and sent it to Bob Cratchit's house.
Then, he gave lots of money to the poor so that they could celebrate Christmas too.
Finally, Scrooge went to his nephew's house for Christmas dinner.
Scrooge enjoyed himself very much.
The next day, Bob Cratchit was late for work but Scrooge wasn't angry at all.
He gave Bob Cratchit a pay rise.
"Merry Christmas and God bless us one and all!" said Scrooge.

1. Marley Jacob Scrooge's former partner, who died seven Christmas Eves ago. Jacob, in life, was a penny-pinching miser like Scrooge and is suffering for it in the afterlife. His ghost comes to haunt Scrooge, hoping to change Scrooge's life and therefore avoid Marley's fate.
2. Bob Cratchit Longsuffering clerk of Ebenezer Scrooge, he works for Scrooge who paid him tinny-willy penny.The Cratchit family consists of Bob's wife, eldest daughter Martha, daughter Belinda, son Peter, two younger children: boy and girl, and Tiny Tim Bob Cratchit crippled son, which need afforded proper medical attention but his father was very arms since Scrooge is a penny-pinching miser boss.

A dramatic audio presentation adapted by Mike Betteridge of The Working Space Theatre Company, i love it more than the movie or cartoon books because i like more to used my imagination than the figure maker imagination, it brought me back to 30 years ago, at that time we have just tape recorder and my mom bought for us stories-tales cassete, so we could hear the stories as many as we will. Sometimes she have also recorded her voices, but she's not good story tellers like my dad. So why not tried again our child time and hear these audio stories again, i don't thinks adult don't like storie tellers or playing Playstation at least listen it in secrets places :-)

1. A Christmas Carol Part one
2. A Christmas Carol Part two
3. A Christmas Carol Part three

If you dont like Dickens Ghost you could called Ghostbusters.

Merry Merry Christmas For All.
