"All the leaders in this country has advantages and also has some flaws in running the government. This is what should be a consideration for the government to make it as a national hero," said Jusuf Kalla or JK.
According to Kalla, the former leader of this country, like Sukarno was designated as a national hero because of various considerations, both in terms of successes and shortcomings. Title of national hero himself, given the purpose for society and future generations can commemorate the service and contribution to Indonesia.
