The following is the list of the top 3 news on Tempo English today:
1. The Wrong Way to Reduce the Cost of Regional Elections
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Prabowo Subianto wants regional heads to be once again selected by Regional Legislative Councils. This would weaken democracy and deprive the people of a voice.
President Prabowo Subianto’s proposal to restore the right to elect regional heads to Regional Legislative Councils (DPRD) is not the answer to the rising costs of regional head elections. Instead of ending money politics and the buying and selling of votes, Prabowo’s plan to end direct elections will make the selection process more transactional and elitist and will deprive the people of the right to vote.
2. Prabowo Wishes Merry Christmas: Welcomes New Spirit to Realize Golden Indonesia 2045
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto wishes everyone a Merry Christmas 2024. Prabowo hopes that this Christmas celebration will be filled with peace.
"Merry Christmas to all Christians in Indonesia," said Prabowo as quoted from Instagram @presidenrepublikindonesia, Wednesday, December 25, 2024.
Prabowo also hopes that this Christmas celebration will bring new hope and strengthen brotherhood in the diversity of the nation.
3. List of 8 Richest Female Singers, Taylor Swift Net Worth Has Achieved Billions
Crowned the richest female singer, Taylor Swift's billion-dollar fortune stems not only from her extensive music catalog but also from the massive success of The Eras Tour, the highest-grossing tour in history.
Many women in the music industry are not only making history with their groundbreaking songs, albums, and performances, but they're also amassing enormous fortunes. These superstars have proven that their talent and influence extend far beyond the stage, generating billions of dollars in wealth.
