印度尼西亞貿易部本周進行的公務員選拔中，有一道常識題讓考生一籌莫展，題目要求考生在列出的幾個歌名中選出哪首是總統蘇西洛最新專輯中的歌曲。參與此次考試的近3000名考生對這樣的考題感到意外，并表示這道題目是考試中最難的一題。對此，印尼貿易部發言人表示，有關總統專輯歌曲的題目只是常識題的一部分，并沒有任何政治意圖。印尼總統蘇西洛分別于2007年和2009年發行兩張由他創作的音樂專輯《我對你的渴望》和《進化》，今年1月推出第三張專輯《我堅信我能夠成功》。三張專輯中的歌曲主要與愛情、忠誠、愛國主義等主題有關。

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.
