JAKARTA - Minister of National Development Planning or Head of Bappenas Suharso Monoarfa stated that he has his own memories of the death of Hj. Koesni Harningsih.

During his lifetime, the wife of the Presidential Chief of Staff of the Republic of Indonesia, Moeldoko, lived at his home during a student time in Malang, East Java.

"I am deeply saddened. The deceased lived while the student was still in college, because she was a student in Malang, then a boarding house at my house. So by my mother, she was considered like a child because all of my daughters and younger siblings were all women," he recalled at Moeldoko's funeral home on Jalan Terusan Lembang, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Sunday, March 12.

Furthermore, Suharso said, his party admitted that he was very close to the late Koesni Harningsih.

"Finally, my sister is still visiting the deceased in Singapore. I also want to remind all Indonesian mothers and women to be diligent in conducting mamographic tests because it is very important to prevent breast cancer early. Once again I am very deeply saddened, I consider it like my late brother," he explained.

Suharso stated that during his lifetime, the late Hj Koesni really paid attention to the public in general.

"Indeed, since I was in college like that. His communication is good with anyone, not choosing and his relationships are broad, his knowledge has a good business vision," he said.
