KUALA LUMPUR: Thousands of Indonesians, along with scores of Malaysians, gave visiting Indonesian president Joko Widodo a rock star welcome as he went on a walkabout at Pasar Chow Kit in Jalan Raja Alang here.
Many gathered at the famous market from early morning yesterday hoping to at least shake the president’s hand and take a picture of Jokowi.
One lucky lady managed to greet him in person after being acknowledged by the president. Supriyantin Musidi, 49, who works in the plantation sector in Puchong, came with her friends from Relawan Masyarakat Kangean Malaysia. “We hope they can resolve all the issues between the countries as we are neighbours,” she said, referring to the foreign labour issues being discussed between Jokowi and Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“We can also explore economic opportunities and infrastructure plans, especially in Sabah and Sarawak, as Indonesia is moving its capital to Kalimantan,” he said.
