Five months after stepping down as president, Joko Widodo (pic) has been kept busy by the queue of people keen to meet him at his house in Solo in Central Java, seeking his advice, bringing in petitions, or just to thank him for his contributions to the country.
Reflecting his continued political influence, Jokowi – as the former president is popularly known – has also welcomed prominent figures including businessman Mochtar Riady and his family, former Malaysian prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and, most recently, Hashim Djojohadikusumo, the brother of and adviser to President Prabowo Subianto.
