Singer Tasya Kamila, 22, says that she will fly to the US to complete postgraduate studies in public policy as part of a plan to become a minister in the future.
'I've decided to take a master's degree because I want to be a minister one day,' said Tasya, who is popular as a former child singer with hits including 'Libur Telah Tiba' (Holidays are Here) and 'Aku Anak Gembala' (I'm a Child Sheppard), as quoted by kompas.com.
Tasya said that should her dream come true, she would like to be a minister who is an expert in her field. 'You don't want to have a minister that doesn't have a full university education, do you?'
On her choice of focus, Tasya said that she fell in love with public policy thanks to her current role as an ambassador for the environment and consumers.
'I have also just established a foundation that focuses on the environment. Indeed, public policy has become one of my interests.'
