Jakarta (ANTARA) - Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR), Puan Maharani, on Friday called attention to several issues ranging from the cyberattack on the Temporary National Data Center (PDNS) to rupiah exchange rate stability.

While delivering the opening speech at the plenary session to open the First Period of the DPR 2024–2025 Session at the parliamentary complex on Friday, Maharani listed 15 concerns of the people.

"The DPR, through its supervisory function, wants to ensure that the government's works can prosper the people, assist in people's affairs, build infrastructure for the people, create security and order, and so on," Maharani said.
