Call me! So says Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono:

"If you think (government officials) don’t care, never come to you and your problems are left unsettled, my cellular phone is active 24 hours a day," Susilo told farmers and fishermen attending a ceremony to mark the launch of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Revitalization Program at Jatiluhur dam here.

For the record, his number is 0811109949.
