The Indonesian government is facing severe criticism for appointing a pop star as its Group of 20 (G-20) spokesperson.
Ayunda Faza Maudya a 27-year-old singer and actress also known as Maudy Ayunda was chosen by President Joko Widodo on March 31 to speak on global issues on the country's behalf at the G-20 summit in Washington this week.
According to critics, Ayunda was chosen as the country’s representative despite lacking economic and diplomatic experience.
