strong>Your comments on the swearing in of Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo and Jusuf Kalla as President and Vice President and the greatest challenge for the new leaders in the next five years:
As we are all aware, Indonesia has every reason to become a big country, well-respected, and a prosperous nation ' no one doubts that. We should have achieved that long before our neighboring countries, such as Singapore.
It is not the issue about how religiously, demographically, or racially diverse Indonesia is.
Indeed, it is the matter of how our leaders preside to make the best of it ' diversity is an advantage, it
provides optimism, rather than a burden.
Having learned from their predecessors' pasts, this time around, Jokowi-Kalla are expected to bring Indonesia to its best.

Their greatest challenge is to eliminate poverty or to improve the welfare of our people.
Roy Aiman Royani
Their greatest challenge is to protect every Indonesian citizen, including those who work around the world as migrant workers.

Their biggest challenge or priority is to ensure that there will be no loss of state money and, if that
happens, the culprit should get what he deserves ' [he should be] hanged and his wealth should be confiscated.

When they joined the presidential race, both presidential candidates offered their visions and missions and Indonesians paid serious attention to what they promised.
Jokowi became the winner because the people expect concrete changes for the next five years as the people know his performance from the media.
Therefore, the new President has great challenges to fulfill his promises and to deal with members of the House of Representatives.

Their greatest challenge is how to face members of the legislature.
