Akbar Tanjung, former leader of Representative House of Indonesia, launched his own website, April 5, named: bangakbardotcom. This is considered as preparation of his candidacy for president in next general election.
Several names are now endorsed in Indonesia to race for presidential election 2009. There are Sutiyoso (Bang Yos), former Jakarta governor, Sri Sultan Hamengkubowo, King of Jogjakarta, Abdurrahman Wahid, former President of Indonesia. Of course, the names in the list will be increased when the time near to date of the election.
It's hard to imagine this phenomenon in Indonesia before decades, when Soeharto was in power. But now, something is different. Democracy has changed Indonesia's political landscape. It's now possible for everyone to elect or be elected in any political position in the country.
