During an impromptu inspection yesterday, Anies admitted that he was furious because Equity Life Indonesia forced pregnant employees to work in the office.
However, PT Equity Life Indonesia's Corporate Communication Yuliarti emphasized that the pregnant employee came to the office only to take care of maternity leave.
