For this great achievement, the world admits that Indonesia is the world direction of reference popular choir. Ironically, never once of these achievements got attention from the government. The contingents always had to pay themselves for joining this competition. They stay in a cheap hotel, pay the bills themselves and even happened to walk to the competition area just like they did in Bremen.
