Dream - Co Captain of the National Team, AMIN Thomas Lembong, responded to his name being mentioned multiple times by the vice presidential candidate number 2, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, during the second vice presidential debate on Sunday, January 21, 2024 night. The man with the full name Thomas Trikasih Lembong said that he has been providing input to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) for seven years.
"I really appreciate the repeated mention of my name in Mas Gibran's speech. Of course, for 7 years I have been making cheat sheets and writing speeches and talking points for his father, the president," said Tom Lembong, as quoted in an interview on YouTube CNBC Indonesia, Monday, January 22, 2024. Tom Lembong believes that Gibran may miss him, as he is no longer part of the government. Tom Lembong himself is known to have held prestigious positions under the leadership of Jokowi. He has served as Minister of Trade (Mendag) and Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM)."
"I can sense something, perhaps a longing, that I am no longer there to provide quality inputs. But now, those who benefit from my inputs are Mr. Anies and Mr. Muhamin," he said.
Tom Lembong said, currently he and his team are working hard to provide inputs for the presidential and vice presidential candidate number 1. He also responded to Gibran's statement, suggesting not to give scary comments and it is better to be optimistic. Tom Lembong considers that there is something more important than just optimism, which is being realistic.
"Actually, I like to say that more important than being optimistic or pessimistic, we must be realists. So, factual data. Whether it is pleasant or bitter, that is a separate matter. But we must convey things as they are, and that is what I am proud of for the past 7 years of providing references and inputs to the president. We convey things as they are, even the bitter ones, because that is the beginning of change and improvement."
"terangnya" translated to English is "the brightness"
As known, the name Tom Lembong was mentioned several times by Gibran during last night's debate. Gibran mentioned the name Tom Lembong when mocking the vice presidential candidate number 1, Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin). One of them was when Gibran assessed that Cak Imin did not understand about lithium ferrophosphate (LFP). Whereas the term LFP is often expressed by Tom Lembong as the Co-Captain of the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN) National Team.
