He spoke at a public lecture and building opening at Universitas Ciputra Jakarta in West Jakarta.

What people are saying
One of the problems of this nation is that its ego is too big. Especially its leaders. Once they become leaders, they only want to be seen themselves.
I have cut off my own hand, I have cut off my own authority.
