LAST Thursday, famous artist Cak Kandar visited the House of Representatives (DPR) headquarters at Senayan, Jakarta. Dressed in white with hair tied back, Kandar met with legislators in the Commission VIII working room, which handles matters related to religion, culture and womens issues. This is the first time I have been to the DPR, he told Tempo.

Cak Kandar was not visiting the DPR to promote an art exhibition, but rather to give input regardin
