Rahel Narda Chaterine, Novianti Setuningsih, Jakarta – President Prabowo Subianto has given himself a score of six out of 10 for the first five to six months of working and governing Indonesia. This was in response to a question from a senior journalist who interviewed him at his residence in Hambalang, West Java, on Sunday April 6.
"You ask me to give myself a score for [the last] five months, yes, six months, I'll be honest, I'm proud that right now I can give myself a score of six", Prabowo was quoted as saying on the Kompas.com YouTube channel.
Although he only gave himself a score of six, Prabowo said that this score had exceeded the threshold.
Prabowo also joked that he does not need remedial classes or to retake the exam, even though his score was only six. "But it was a passing grade. No her (remedial, repeat exam). Right? Yes, I'm not her", Prabowo said.
The Head of State also expressed the desire that he wanted to work even faster. In fact, according to Prabowo, there are currently parties who consider his performance to be very fast.
"In the sense that I want to be faster. But now I'm already being called a cowboy. Right? Now I'm being called a command politician. Is that true? Pity my ministers, I phone them at 12 midnight", said Prabowo.
