Budiman Sudjatmiko, a member of the House of Representatives, said that the use of a nation wide event to gain a personal popularity is inappropriate. It has nothing to do with nationalism or anything like that. Even if the question can be answered, we should wonder what kind of public servant we would have.
The question was : "Which one of the answer below, is the title of the song in President's 3rd album?". I don't even know that he's already done 3 album :-)
Speaking of the president, I was also reading an article of Ikrar Nusa Bhakti, titled "Sebelum Prahara", on newspaper 18 Oct '10 (http://cetak.kompas.com/read/2010/10/18/03203385/sebelum.prahara). The writing was comparing the inspirational President of Chile and contradictional President of Indonesia. The President of Chile - during the evacuation drama - was dressed like a commoner among his people, without beaureaucracy hassles, no tight security around, stood by the location until the last worker was lifted up. President of Indonesia however - while visiting a flood disaster in Papua - was so formal, riding a bullet-proof Mercedes to the flood site and surrounded by military guards as if going to a battle field. Although comparing leaders tends to be biased considering some differences mainly in culture and nation building, however leadership values are universal. If you inspire, people follow. If you speak, they listen. If you hug them, they will die for you. If you keep a distance, well.. they don't even know - or care - that you write a song.
So, yeah.. I am glad that I didn't have to take the exam..
