Dewi Launches Missiles at Right Wingers | April 20, 2009 |
Former Indonesian first lady Dewi Sukarno (69, profile) may not be my cup of tea but I have to hand it to her - she knows how to stick up for herself. After her recent comment criticizing Japan's "over reaction" to the North Korean missile launch on April 5, a member of an "uyoku" (right wing ultra-nationalist) organization decided to broadcast from one of their infamous black sound trucks outside her home in Shibuya, Tokyo on Sunday morning. Dewi-fujin, as the Japanese native is popularly known, clearly took offense and decided the best form of defense was attack. She launched a few missiles of her own - three flower pots, to be exact - from a second-floor balcony and caused some damage to the truck. This of course led to a face off during which her camera is said to have been broken. Police from the local Shibuya station are looking into the matter. Sukarno was working as a teenage bar hostess in Ginza when she was swept away to become one of the many wives of first Indonesian president Achmed Sukarno in 1959. She returned to become a popular face on the Japanese variety show circuit in the mid-1990s.
