How SBY Feels if People Visit State Palace

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has no objection to people visiting the state palace as far as it is done based on existing standing procedures, Presidential Spokesman Julian A Pasha said.       "The president does not object to it, but in principle there are certain steps and procedures that have to be observed before someone can visit," Julian Pasha said when he was asked about the visit to the state palace by a mother and her child who were  victims of a gas canister blast here on Tuesday.       He said all Indonesian citizens had the right to visit the state palace. "After all, they are the country’s citizens. However the president is of the view that a problem such as the victim of a gas cylinder explosion should be handled by government officials at the appropriate level," he said.       A gas victim in East Java for example should be handled by the local government so that he or she need not come to the presidential palace. "This is saddening and the president expressed his deep sympathy for the two victims," he said.
On Monday, Susi Haryani (29) while holding her son Ridho Januar (4.5) arrived at the parking lot of State Secretariat but she did know what to do to meet the president. "If I am allowed to, I want to enter the Palace," she said to reporters who usually cover the president’s activities.       Ridho suffered burns and injuries to his face, arms and legs as a result of a gas canister blast. Susi said the accident happened when she was about to cook on March 27, 2010 in Mojo Kampung village, Bojonegoro district, East Java. Susi suffered injuries to her legs.    
But 3kg-gas cylinder explosions have been taking place almost every day in a number of provinces in Indonesia. Substandard products have caused fatalities among the public. The government noted that in 2007, there were five cases of gas canister explosions with injured victims.
In 2008 there 27 cases with two dead and 35 injured while in 2009 there were 30 blasts killing 12 victims and injuring 48 others
