He also highlighted the difference between the implementation of this year's FFI and previous years. Even though he feels the essence of still the same, he revealed that there are differences in the implementation of this year's FFI with previous years.

"It's just the difference in ancient times, this later became a people's party. People's parties really and the pride of an area. For example, we go to Bali, that's the pride of Bali, to Surabaya is the pride of Surabaya. There are processions and parades too," he said.
