印度尼西亚贸易部本周进行的公务员选拔中,有一道常识题让考生一筹莫展,题目要求考生在列出的几个歌名中选出哪首是总统苏西洛最新专辑中的歌曲。参与此次考试的近3000名考生对这样的考题感到意外,并表示这道题目是考试中最难的一题。对此,印尼贸易部发言人表示,有关总统专辑歌曲的题目只是常识题的一部分,并没有任何政治意图。印尼总统苏西洛分别于2007年和2009年发行两张由他创作的音乐专辑《我对你的渴望》和《进化》,今年1月推出第三张专辑《我坚信我能够成功》。三张专辑中的歌曲主要与爱情、忠诚、爱国主义等主题有关。

Aspiring civil servants in Indonesia faced an unusual question in their selection exam this week when they were asked to name a song from the latest album by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

Aspiring civil servants in Indonesia faced an unusual question in their selection exam this week when they were asked to name a song from the latest album by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

About 3,000 candidates who were applying for vacancies at the trade ministry were surprised to find the question about the president-cum-crooner's most recent collection of pop songs under the general knowledge section.

"I got a headache choosing the answer," one applicant, Anita, told the Okezone news website, describing the question as the hardest in the whole exam.

While she knew Yudhoyono had released several albums, it was not part of her exam preparation, she added.

Trade ministry spokesman Robert James Bintaryo denied there was any hidden political agenda in the question.

"What is wrong if a general knowledge question is about SBY's song?" he said, using the president's nickname.

"It's part of the general knowledge questions. There were 30 to 40 questions in that section and the song title was only one question," he was quoted by the Jakarta Globe newspaper as saying.

Yudhoyono released his third romantic pop album "I'm Certain I'll Get There" earlier this year, following up from his 2007 debut "My Longing for You", and 2009's "Evolution".

Like the 61-year-old former general's previous two albums, "I'm Certain I'll Get There" deals with themes such as love, loyalty and patriotism.

The liberal ex-general won a second five-year term in July 2009 on a platform of bringing economic growth, political reform and good governance.
