JAKARTA - Remembering today, five years ago, December 20, 2020, the Minister of Finance (Menkeu), Sri Mulyani, said that she had never been a class champion in elementary school. She also got a red report card. This condition made her desperate for a while.
Previously, Sri was known as one of the great female ministers in the era of President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) government. Sri was also seen as able to do the work of men and be superior. This condition made him repeatedly receive praise from many parties.
The image of women only being able to work in the kitchen is outdated. Women's emancipation has spread everywhere. Women are not only dealing with kitchen affairs, but also in the political realm. The highest achievement of Indonesian women is as President of Indonesia.
The road was opened by Megawati Soekarnoputri. The narrative proves that women cannot be taken lightly. Moreover, when Sri Mulyani entered the political world. Sri Mulyani is seen as great to be the Minister of Finance in the era of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) and then Jokowi.
Sri is also a great woman figure. The special thing is that she continues to motivate other women to make big breakthroughs in every field. She doesn't want women to be seen as weak, let alone unable to work. She invites women not to be shy.
He took an example of himself. He was able to break through the dominance of the Ministry of Finance which was generally led by men. Women, he said, can do a lot of work. Women are also more thorough and more sensitive, especially when it comes to managing finances.
As a result, Sri considers that women ministers can be better than men. Women are more logical. This narrative has been proven by being the Minister of Finance in two different government eras. One thing that women need to do is immediately do the job as best as possible.
"Juggling and multi-tasking have become women's DNA. We were created to think logically rather than men. If a man's DNA is upright, if a woman is not only care for herself but also cares about others. "
"Women have the nature of empathy and psychology because they can see a different view than men. So when women become finance ministers, the results are definitely better than men. Make it a strength but don't over. Don't also underline the stereotype itself. Show that you are different and can make changes," said Sri as quoted by CNBC Indonesia, November 9, 2018.
All kinds of achievements obtained by Sri are not passed through an easy process. Sri tries to tell that he has been in a moment of despair. He said that he had never won a class champion when he was in elementary school on December 20, 2020.
Worse, out of 10 siblings in the family, he was the only one who never won a class champion. Sri also got a red grade. Fortunately, Sri's parents always encouraged their children. This support made Sri not focus too much on failure, but to keep trying to be the best.
"I have 10 brothers, every time I receive a report, every semester I am the only one who is not the class champion. It is easy to make me desperate, but maybe I am lucky because my parents are educators and say that a red report card is one lesson it's okay, like women wear lipstick. "
"I am indeed among the girls who like to go out, like outdoor activities, and my older brother is not real. More bookworm. That's what makes the difference and can't be compared with reports, because we are different," said Sri Mulyani in the Girls Leadership Class event as quoted by the kompas.com page, December 20, 2020.
