Okay, today I heard great news about the president. He will change the finance minister, and I think this is interesting news because I heard from some research that the new finance minister has a great background in economics and also has really great experience, especially in Indonesian economics. I heard this news from all the media; all the media are talking about it. For me, it's kind of bombastic news, I guess, because before that, we had a former finance minister who held this position for almost two decades. It's really important because this new finance minister brings new hope for Indonesian citizens. He said he will provide some programs to develop the Indonesian economy, especially since we have a crisis in the economic sector. A lot of people are unemployed, and it's terrible to know that Indonesia is a big country. It caught my attention because I really hope this guy can bring a different approach to ensure Indonesia continues to develop properly.
