The Valentine's Day mood seems to have prevailed in the cold and breezy meeting room of the House of Representatives’ inquiry committee on the Bank Century bailout.

On Tuesday, the House secretariat general unusually provided pink meal boxes for the politicians and their guests. Most of the time, the boxes are white.

Democratic Party legislator Ruhut Sitompul said he believed it was no coincidence.

"These [pink boxes] aim to remind us that even though we might have heated debates during meetings, we have to keep love in our hearts," he said.

"Now that Valentine's Day is approaching, it is no wonder they have given us pink meal boxes."
