ommunication and Information Technology Minister Tifatul Sembiring has no idea about the benefits of having fast internet connection speed for Indonesia.
'Dear tweeps, if we have a faster internet connection speed, then what are we going to use it for?' Tifatul asked on his official twitter account @tifsembiring on Thursday.
Tifatul was responding to questions asked by Indonesians to him through twitter about the recent report, issued by cloud service provider Akamai Technologies, which stated that Indonesia had the second slowest internet connection speed in the world.
Tifatul's question then incited anger and insults from the Indonesian twitter users who viewed the minister as ignorant for not knowing the benefits of having fast internet connection speed.
