President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has broken his own rule by delivering official speeches in English, Constitutional Court chief Mahfud MD said on Thursday.
Yudhoyono's fondness for using English instead of Indonesian in his speeches at various national and international events has been highlighted by the media.
In several occasions such as the Asian Summit and the Non Aligned Movement conference, Yudhoyono entertained audiences with his fluency in English.
Law No 24/2009 stipulates that Indonesian was compulsory for the president, vice president and state officials in official speeches.
