Please, think so, "said Gus Dur as exemplary Admiral.Not long after that day, the Admiral returned to Gus Dur. There is a vacant position as Indosat's board of directors. "Gus, remember this baseball people, the young man the other day Gus Leave it to me? He is more suitable in Indosat, Gus, "said Admiral.
Wahid seems to have forgotten. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said aloud, "No man can it!" "Why, why, Gus?" Admiral aghast. "He took away the wife." Admiral shocked. The reason, he had ordered him out of the company where she worked, even asked to get out as soon as possible because there are orders of the President. And he was in Indonesia. Admiral then ask the person facing the office.
"Mas, why Gus Dur says you take away someone's wife?" Asked the Admiral. "By God, sir! I'm still with my wife now, "replied the man.

Admiral felt sorry. How could I not! His career in the foreign company it is good, but garagara a prompter his fate was a mess.
Bawl
Gus Dur is also known as a highly emotional. When angry, he could pound the table and the hard words out of his mouth. One former minister who is not willing to be named said, he never scolded her heart out.
Story like this:
There was a relative of Gus Dur in government. Just mention his name XZ. Gus Dur was never raised XZ. However, one of the leaders of government agencies as lifting XZ echelon 1. Perhaps, people were thinking by raising relatives Abdurrahman his career will be better considering the proximity of XZ with Gus Dur.
However, as the first echelon, XZ often known to "squeeze" a conglomerate of Chinese descent. The businessman was getting kind of "help" but the rewards are enormous. The minister is, call it AB, reported the behavior of XZ to Gus Dur. Gus Dur was angry.
AB berated Abdurrahman Wahid because AB did not trust the report. A few days later, AB was called Gus Dur to the palace. Four-eye meeting. Once entered into the study Gus Dur, AB see Gus Dur bawl. She looks incredible grief-stricken. Old Gus Dur can not talk, just cry and cry.

In essence, he acknowledges the truth of information about the behavior of AB XZ ever delivered. "I am ashamed! Very ashamed! Apparently, what you report to me was right all! Insolent him! "Said Gus Dur. Since that time, and for over a year, Gus Dur was never greeted XZ.
Megawati
More Enthusiastic Talk About "Shopping"
Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri is the fifth. Could be called he was President of Indonesia's most taciturn. Bung Karno's daughter seems a fanatical follower of the old adage "Silence is Gold". However, Megawati's silence is often out of line. He remained silent even when his country needed clarity.
To the extent that (Alm) Roeslan Abdulgani, figure 45 fighter, exclaim, "Megawati speak as the President!"
Once on one day, while still serving as President, Megawati Sukarnoputri appeared to talk with a minister for a long time at his official residence, on Jl Teuku Umar, Jakarta. While the conversation takes place, an other close aides waited anxiously.
The reason, he had waited long past the time promised to meet. After talks with Megawati's minister, was asked the assistant minister. "Lama's wrong with you very ngobrolnya. What the hell are covered? "
"Nothing ever, Mas. We talk of other things that baseball has to do with the country! "Said the minister, laughing broadly.
That Megawati. Based on the narrative Sukardi Admiral, former state minister of State-Owned Enterprises, when discussing with aides, more frequent minor issues such as food, plants, and shopping. Discussions with topics that can make a long discussion with Megawati.
But, if it is touched on the job or the country, the focus is very limited. Concentration is less sufficient to continuously focus on the issue. This gives rise to the impression Megawati people who do not want to be bothered in running the country.
Former Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle pentiggi now resigned and founded the Party of Democratic Renewal, Roy BB Janis, in Megawati's cabinet meeting is usually more quiet. Even if the lift function only as a regulator of voice traffic. If there are two ministers are arguing in the cabinet meeting, Megawati just watch, rarely giving his own opinion or mediate both, although the debate has been at the level of 'hot'.
There cukilan interesting story about Megawati's silence. Towards the close of 2002 the actions of anti-government protests, waged mainly students, showed a high escalation. This action followed the government policy of raising fuel prices and electricity tariffs. Amid uproar protest, there are rumors beredarlah certain parties who deliberately provoking a series of protests.
As someone who was partly responsible for the stability of government, Hendropriyono (Head of State Intelligence Agency), Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (Coordinating Minister for Political and Security), and Da'i Bachtiar (Police), apparently continues to rack one's brains to find out who is behind the actions this.
Then, in a cabinet meeting on January 20, 2003, appears four names mentioned as a party that is behind the demonstrations. They are General Wiranto, Fuad Bawazier, Adi Sasono, and Eros Djarot. About Fuad Bawazier, was known long is Rini Suwandi business partner who was then serving as Minister of Industry and Trade in Megawati's cabinet.
They occurred long before the partnership became minister Rini. One day Meet Hendropriyono and Rini Suwandi in Megawati's residence on Jl Teuku Umar. Hendro rebuke Rini about Fuad lunge. Katakata Hendro glide without straightforwardly. Rini reprimand was so painful that she cried, hugging Megawati.
What is the reaction of President? Megawati just smiled at the scene a war of words between the two close aides.
Spiteful
All the people understand, until this moment Megawati unwilling to meet with Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, President of the ruling which is actually a former aide in the cabinet. In a state ceremony commemorating the anniversary of the independence of Indonesia to-63, August 17, this year, Megawati did not attend.
His absence is believed to be due to factors Yudhoyono as President.In the eyes of Megawati, Susilo Bambang Yuhoyono (SBY) is no more a traitor, even a sadistic Brutus. This is all because of the attitude of "secretly" SBY who ran for president in the 2004 elections.
SBY as unmanly. Megawati asked several times whether to forward SBY in the 2004 elections. SBY diplomatically replied, "Not thinking about that, ma'am. I still concentration to the task as Coordinating Minister for Politics and Security. "However, Megawati and his camp put a suspicion of SBY and his team. Feud ensued under the covers.
Revealed to the public that Megawati SBY isolate from cabinet meetings. Megawati's attitude is advantageous because it SBY SBY appearing in the media as victims of injustice Megawati.March 12, 2004 SBY send a letter of resignation from the cabinet. Two days later he flew to Banyuwangi, campaigned for the Democratic Party. In the second round of the 2004 election SBY resounding win in the vote. Megawati sad and crying. Everyone knows, when Yudhoyono's inauguration at the House of Assembly on October 20, 2004 Megawati did not attend, but many people close to persuade him to come.
Everyone also knows, that morning Megawati did not even sit in front of the television, but busy gardening.
According to Roy BB Janis, rage and hatred of Megawati's PDI-P is articulated in the DPP meeting. "If others, Amien Rais President, President Wiranto, who am I to come. But, if this (SBY) I can not get, because he was stabbing me from behind, "he said Megawati as exemplary Roy
SBYFurthermore, what about Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY)? SBY is the figure of a perfectionist. He always looks neat with the said words are arranged. SBY must have realized that he was a man of God endowed with enough good-looking face. And, he really take advantage of his good looks every time you perform in front of the press. Kegantengannya and appearance as the dandy is the main attraction that should always be 'sold' to the public every time he appears.
"The clothes he wore a suit or whether the form of batik-always-quality No. 1 with colors, patterns, and the size of the steady, reflecting the taste of high fashion. When that he may be more fitting given the title as 'photo model' or 'actor' than a 'head'.
As a perfectionist, SBY is always trying to communicate with body language and verbal perfect. However, the style is often high-context language, tend to spin in circles, especially when he is not ready with his decision.
Unfortunately, not many hidden things are revealed in the analysis of political communication style SBY. Perhaps his aides no one has dared to speak openly because Mr. President is still in power.
