The University of Indonesia's Alumni Association said they would encourage people to take to the streets in protest if the House of Representatives failed to investigate the Bank Century bailout scandal.

One key figure of the association, which is popularly known as Iluni, Seto Mulyadi, said the alumni will be present at the House of Representatives plenary session on December 1.

Seto said Iluni will write a letter to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to ask why he seemed to be taking his time in resolving the Bank Century affair.

"He (Yudhoyono) used to give a swift response to rumors, like the one saying he was married before he joined the military. If he reacted that quickly to (rumors about) personal matters, why does he take so long to react to those on public matters?" Seto told the Jakarta Globe.

Seto said that Yudhoyono's silence would likely trigger many questions from the public, including the younger generation.

"The president said he wanted the Bank Century case to be transparent, let's support him," Seto added.

He said that even though the University of Indonesia's alumni numbered only 200,000 people, they were the symbol of the reformation spirit.
