The new Information and Communications Minister Tifatul Sembiring showed a good sample on how to engage Indonesian people directly: by tweeting. The good thing is he tweeted by himself –instead of by his staff like VP Boediono did — and responded to their followers. No wonder he got more than 22,000 followers so far. He even already created two lists (kontenkreatifindonesia and media) so far. Bravo, Pak Menteri!
