Imagine President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono picking up his guitar, plucking its strings and singing a song. Hard to fathom?
Well, pigs are not flying yet, but believe it or not, Yudhoyono does on occasions turn himself into an artist, entertaining people with his vocal talent.
One day, on a trip to Brussels last month, for example, Yudhoyono belted a few songs over the plane's loudspeaker stroking his beloved guitar, causing a few journalists - about to take a nap - to blink.
"He (Yudhoyono) could just write songs on the plane... in Tampak Siring (Palace)... or during his trips to other countries like Australia," State Minister for Youth and Sports Affairs Andi Mallarangeng said Sunday. "...He would just pick up his guitar, pluck it a bit here and there, then he would ask us to sing his songs for him," he added.
