SBY promised to appoint "professional" people as Cabinet ministers. However, he must have misunderstood the meaning of the word "professional". What is professional about appointing an engineer turned businessman, former chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, to the position of coordinating minister for economic affairs? What about assigning an accountant by training and former minister of finance, Bambang Soedibyo, to the post of minister of national education? He was in the Cabinet perhaps more to represent the National Mandate Party (PAN) than to represent any profession, although he was a university professor.
