Patriotic political disciples of new President Abdurrahman Wahid have offered to donate their eyes to the near-blind Muslim leader. The unusual offer has come from followers of President Wahid's National Awakening Party in Yogyakarta. Imam Syafii, treasurer of Mr Wahid's 35-million strong Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Muslim movement, said: 'I praise and thank the prospective donors who want President Wahid to be able to carry out his duties effectively. 'Let us hope the President will accept [this idea],' he told the Jakarta Post.
