Sir Creep 7,070 Posted October 2, 2017 From Sept 18: Indonesia's House of Representatives Speaker Setya Novanto, will have to skip another questioning session at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as he has to undergo a medical check-up due to a deteriorating health condition. Golkar politician Nurul Arifin confirmed that Setya would undergo an examination for his heart at the Premier Hospital in Jatinegara, Jakarta. "He is still suffering from vertigo. Previously, doctors also found plaque building up in his heart," Nurul said. (We know the drill -- this sounds like a convenient heart ailment on a day he's supposed to be questioned for corruption of office. But still....).
