President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is scheduled to leave Jakarta for Malaysia and Singapore on Wednesday for a week-long working visit.
In Singapore, the President will attend the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit and a meeting between US President Barack Obama and Southeast Asian leaders.
Presidential spokesman Dino Patti Djalal said Tuesday that during the APEC summit Yudhoyono would deliver his view on balanced growth and his review of the target set in the 1996 summit held in Bogor, West Java.
On the sidelines of the summit, Yudhoyono will hold talks with Singaporean President SR Nathan, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Ministerial Mentor Lee Kuan Yeuw. Yudhoyono will also meet President Obama for a bilateral meeting.
The President and his entourage will depart from Halim Perdanakusuma Airport in East Jakarta at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday for Kuala Lumpur, where he is scheduled to hold talks with Prime Minister Najib Razak on bilateral relations. An Eminent Persons Group from the two countries will join the meeting.
The issues of Indonesian migrant workers and border disputes look to top the agenda of the meeting between leaders of the two neighboring countries.
Yudhoyono is slated to leave Singapore for Jakarta on Nov. 16.

It will be interesting to see if the President does anything about the KPK vs Police farce before he leaves. One would certainly hope so, but it does seem that he really cannot get his head around the fact that this is a major problem in the eyes of the people.
