The width of Indonesia is the same with the distance between San Francisco and New York. If we compare with Europe, the width of Indonesia covers the area from Lisbon (Portugal) to Minsk (Belarus)-almost 22 countries of Europe. How great we are…
Also Indonesia is a member of Group of Twenty (G20) major economies in the world. In 2012 Gross domestic product Indonesia is 878.043 million US dollar, number 16th among the G20 members.
The Challenges
And now, the challenges are:

b.Who will supply the food for 250 million people?
c.Which area shall be the National Rice Barn-Lumbung Padi Nasional?

e.How to provide good telecommunication around the Indonesia? Such as telephone and internet.
f.And how to fulfill our energy needs everyday? Fuel, gases, electricity, and water……..
Only the Great president who has great vision to Indonesia can answer the challenges together with the people of Indonesia.
Indonesia also blessed with the abundant natural resources. From Aceh to Papua lies the great natural resources such as oil and gas, forest, mineral and etc. The way to manage this country is the main key to reach the prosperity of the people of Indonesia. How our leaders match the technology and resources, blend it and make a synergy to prosper this country.
