Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's nominee for chief of Indonesian police, General Timur Pradopo, 54, was reportedly a founding member in 1998 of the stick-wielding Islamic extremist vigilante group Islamic Defenders Front (FPI). Timur attended FPI's anniversary celebrations earlier this year. Corruption is a problem in Indonesia with an "oligarchy" of mainly Javanese businessmen and generals, having influence from behind the scenes.
