SBY PRESIDENCY. Minister of Communication and Information, Tifatul Sembiring claims that the feud - between Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani and former Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare who is now chairman of Golkar party Aburizal Bakrie - is over. Both have been mediated by a team formed by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

"I hear that both have been mediated by a team," Tifatul answered reporters after attending the World AIDS day commemoration at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Tuesday.

Unfortunately, when further inquired when the peace was forged, Tifatul was reluctant to answer. "I don't know. But clearly it's done. That's what I heard."

Asked by the journalist whether the team was formed under President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono command, Tifatul nodded. Previously, Tifatul denied that there was a disunity between the ministers in the United Indonesia Cabinet II, especially between those from Golkar and under the coordination of the VP Boediono and Sri Mulyani.

Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare Agung Laksono, a Golkar party leader, who also attended the event joined the denial of disunity between Sri Mulyani's clique and that of Golkar's. According to him the issue was false.(KOMPAS.com)
