In Indonesia, a selebgram is not only a celebrity but also a person with several followers on Instagram and having a significant influence. Businesses often approach a selebgram to promote an item or service.
"Maybe (I want to be) a selebgram," Mulyani remarked in a lighter vein in Jakarta on Tuesday, Jan 22.
Mulyani`s idea to become a selebgram, among others, comes from her fashion and style statement that has often drawn praises from the public.
Frequent public inquiries regarding the dresses Mulyani wore or from where she bought them are testament to the fact that she can be a fashion role model despite her well-established career in the financial sector.
Apart from public queries on how to dress, the former managing director of World Bank is often asked to promote several tourist attractions, including some of which she had visited in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara, and Raja Ampat.
Recent photographs of Mulyani`s visit to Raja Ampat posted on her Instagram account @smindrawati on Jan 20 received more than 123,900 likes and 1,588 comments.
Mulyani is fairly capable of using social media to share details of various activities, programs, and policies she has carried out to manage the state`s finances with her one million followers on Instagram.
