Buses full of well-wishers headed to the presidential palace for the Idul Fitri open house on Wednesday to greet President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and family a happy Idul Fitri.
Some of them were disabled people, who had to jostle with other people in order to board the buses, kompas.com reported.
Yudhoyono previously stated that this year he would hand out Idul Fitri packages only to disabled well-wishers, who would receive special packages.
Last year, the President received 3,500 well-wishers during the Idul Fitri open house. At least 1,000 people were denied access to the palace due to time restrictions.
