Unicorns are real: Tech baffles Indonesian candidate

-

Indonesia's presidenti­al candidates debated some of the most pressing issues facing the world's third-largest democracy: dilapidate­d infrastruc­ture, struggling farmers, forest fires — and unicorns. When President Joko Widodo, who is seeking a second term, asked challenger Prabowo Subianto about his policies for supporting Indonesian unicorns a look of bafflement passed across the former general's face. Wondering aloud, he replied: "What are unicorns? You mean those online things?" Widodo sagely nodded in the affirmativ­e before Subianto explained he supports online businesses.
