Jakarta
A FORMER Indonesian president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, said on Wednesday he believed his telephone may have recently been illegally tapped by government agencies and he had sought an explanation from his successor, President Joko Widodo.
Mr Yudhoyono, who was in office from 2004 until 2014, also denied that he or any of his relatives had backed mass rallies late last year calling for the jailing for blasphemy of Jakarta governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, an ally of Mr Widodo.
