Lavish villa for Indonesian ambassador following
tsunami
GENEVA, April 3 (AFP) - While millions of people
around the world have
sent donations large and small to assist Indonesia�s
recovery following
the December 26 tsunami, the Jakarta government is
spending a fortune
to house its ambassador to the UN here in palatial
style, the daily Le
Matin said Sunday.
The newspaper said the purchase of the
9.6-million-franc
(6.3-million-euro, 8.1-million-dollar) villa in the
swish Collonge-Bellerive district
overlooking Lake Geneva �falls badly� at a time when
the rest of the
world is still helping Indonesia, where about 220,000
people were
believed dead after the tsunami.
Ambassador Makarim Zibisono, 58, who is also current
president of the
UN Human Rights Commission, was scheduled to move into
the
Provence-style villa with his wife and three children
in the coming weeks.
They will enjoy a large veranda overlooking a swimming
pool, an immense
park including a house for the domestic servants,
hot-houses, and a
volley-ball court.
Deputy ambassador Eddi Hariyadhi said the house was
bought long before
the tsunami after several months� searching. He said
the price was
normal in terms of housing for diplomats and senior
officials.
