Jakarta – Constitutional Court chairman Jimly Asshiddiqie said Thursday people should not expect too much regarding the UN and World Bank's scheme to uproot former president Soeharto's alleged illegal assets kept at banks overseas.

"Don't be impulsive on this matter," Jimly said. "The data the UN and World Bank used as part of their initiative is old. Probably they are of no use anymore. Hasn't the issue become stale? We've been in the era of reforms for nine years. Why have they just brought out the initiative now?"

Despite his grievances however Jimly said the country should still respect UN and World Bank efforts. He said President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and World Bank president Robert Zoellick had talked about the initiative, but not in great detail. "You can ask questions to Zoellick when he visits Jakarta," Jimly said.
