Susilo Bambang Yudoyono, the sixth president of Indonesia, is the first president who was elected by all Indonesian people. On the presidential election held at July 8, 2009, the majority Indonesian voters have elected him for the second time. In our opinion, there are three main aspects that encourage Indonesian to vote him.



To begin with, he has an excellent intellect. Two honorary doctorates, the AKABRI best alumnus, educational backgrounds are the indicators why his intellectual quality can be one of the important keys. In making policies, he has scrutinized the planned policies before running those in the society. For example, when the world oil price had decreased, he did not immediately reduce the national oil price but he was still waiting until the world oil price stable.



The second aspect is his personality. The same as his intellectual ability, this also plays an important role in attracting people trust. One of his characters that people may know is that he is an open-minded person. For instance, providing public information center that has allowed people to deliver their comments, complaints, ideas, opinions through SMS, has proved that he has respected to the pluralism.
How to solve society problems? Some people may think that he is a doubtful person especially in solving society problems, but actually, he proves that he is reliable and resourceful. For example, he was able to solve problems such as ethnic conflicts in some areas in Indonesia, natural by making the precise decisions.



It can be concluded that the three aspects mentioned above are the key factors that attract people trust to vote him for the second time. In addition, those will also support him for leading this country in his second presidential period.
