Rizal Ramli served as Indonesia's coordinating minister for maritime affairs under President Joko Widodo between 2015 and 2016. He previously served as minister of finance and coordinating minister for the economy.

Until recently, I believed that it would be a cause for celebration when Joko "Jokowi" Widodo completed his second and final term as Indonesia's president next October.
