The figure of Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia was in the spotlight of President Prabowo Subianto during the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Golkar Party in Sentul, Bogor, West Java, last Thursday (12/12/2024). Prabowo admitted that he was surprised that the man who was the General Chairman of Golkar could be appointed by the 7th President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) as Minister of Investment/Head of BKPM in the era of the Advanced Indonesian Cabinet.

Prabowo was surprised because Bahlil did not graduate from elite foreign universities like Harvard or Oxford, but could be investment minister in the face of many foreign investors.

Indonesia's number one initially said he was confused when he joined the advanced Indonesian Cabinet after the 2019 presidential election and met Bahlil as investment minister. According to him, the Minister of Investment is usually chosen from among highly educated people, graduates of renowned foreign universities, from Harvard University to Oxford University.

“When I joined Pak Jokowi in the Indonesian Advanced Cabinet, it seemed a bit strange to me that he (Bahlil) was chosen as the Minister of Investment. Usually the Minister of Investment is a graduate of an American university, right? Harvard University or Stanford or Brooklyn. If it's not American, at least “It's England. The University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge or the Sorbonne,” Prabowo said.

In fact, Prabowo even asked Bahlil what degree he actually graduated from. The response was surprising, Bahlil said that if he searched for the campus on the Google search engine, he would not find it.

“When I met him, I asked him, 'Mr. Bahlil, which university did you graduate from?' “Sir, my university is not on Google,” he said,” Prabowo said.

Additionally, Bahlil, who is currently Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources under his leadership, is Papuan. The position of Papuans, said Prabowo, is often given a mandate for development issues in underdeveloped villages. However, Jokowi appointed Bahlil as investment minister.

“It's strange, why did Mr. Jokowi choose Mr. Bahlil as Minister of Investment, especially since he is from Papua, right? Usually his position is that of Minister of Development of Disadvantaged Villages, something like that, but he chose the Minister of Investment,” he added.

Ask for English skills

Prabowo went on to say that he asked Bahlil how he deals with foreign investors. Prabowo mentioned Bahlil's English skills.

“Afterwards, 'What do you do when you meet foreign investors?' “I don’t want to ask you if your English is good or not,” said Prabowo, who was greeted with laughter from the audience.

Bahlil's response, Prabowo said, was quite convincing. He said Bahlil had his own way of dealing with investors. There are at least 4 translators ready to help him every time he meets international investors.

Bahlil said not everyone in this part of the country has good English skills. In Korea and Japan for example. Bahlil therefore declared that he had 4 translators of different languages.

“He told me, sir, there is no problem with that. Korean businessmen don't speak English, and Japanese businessmen don't speak English either. So I have 4 translators, one in English, one in Japanese, one in Korean, one in German, where to go? 4, this person is also smart,” Prabowo said.
