Megawati advises Cabinet not to quit amid criticism of Jokowi

A former Indonesian president and chief of its biggest party has advised ministers not to quit outgoing President Joko Widodo’s Cabinet, amid media reports of possible resignations over his perceived meddling in next week’s presidential election.

In a rare interview, Megawati Sukarnoputri (pic), said she had advised the influential finance minister and her own party PDI-P’s five ministers to stay put or risk destabilising the country.
