Jakarta – Chairperson of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) Megawati Soekarnoputri said the her popularity had declined because of the lack of media coverage she received.

"Journalists have forgotten about me. When they write about figures from the Reform era they don't include me. I am so upset," Megawati said as quoted by Antara.

The former president said that, despite the complaint, she did not want to be perceived as an attention-grabbing politician. "I just want the public to know [more about me]," she said.

Megawati also voiced concerns about a suspected intelligence operation that specifically targeted her.
