The president this time left for Cilacap without the company of First Lady Ani Yudhoyono who was still sick at Gatot Subroto hospital.
President Yudhoyono, along with his entourage, is scheduled to arrive in Cilacap at 12.30 pm on Wednesday to lay the first cornerstone for the construction of Resid Fluid Catalytic Cracking (RFCC) project of Pertamina.
During the visit, President Yudhoyono was accompanied by among others Coordinating Minister for Economy Hatta Rajasa, Minister/State Secretary Sudi Silalahi, and State Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan.
At 3 on Wednesday afternoon the president is scheduled to lay the first cornerstone of Pertamina`s oil refinery of RFCC at Donan village in Central Cilacap sub-district.
After that the head of state will symbolically dedicate the operation of three steam power plants (PLTUs), namely PLTU-1 Banten-Suralaya in Cilegon, PLTU-3 Banten Unit-1 in Tangerang, Banten province; and PLTU Tanjung Jati-B IN Jepara, Central Java.
From Cilacap, the president planed to make a working visit to Bandung, West Java, until Janury 1, 2012, but Presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasha said the visit to Bandung would probably change because the first lady was still sick at the hospital since Tuesday, Dec 27.
But Julian was reluctant to mention the kind of disease the first lady was suffering from.(*)
