I remember my first meeting with my management team when I became Indonesia's Minister of Finance. I was the youngest person and the first woman ever to hold that job. Everybody else in the room was male. I knew then that I had to work harder than any man to prove to them that I was capable.

When became citizens, we took an oath to support and defend the Constitution and laws and bear faith and allegiance to the same.
