Aspiring civil servants in Indonesia faced an unusual question in their selection exam this week when they were asked to name a song from the latest album by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

Aspiring（有抱负的，追求的） civil servants in Indonesia faced an unusual question in their selection exam this week when they were asked to name a song from the latest album by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

About 3,000 candidates who were applying for vacancies2（空缺额，缺位） at the trade ministry3 were surprised to find the question about the president-cum-crooner's most recent collection of pop songs under the general knowledge section.

"I got a headache choosing the answer," one applicant4, Anita, told the Okezone news website, describing the question as the hardest in the whole exam.

While she knew Yudhoyono had released several albums, it was not part of her exam preparation, she added.

Trade ministry spokesman Robert James Bintaryo denied there was any hidden political agenda in the question.

"What is wrong if a general knowledge question is about SBY's song?" he said, using the president's nickname.

"It's part of the general knowledge questions. There were 30 to 40 questions in that section and the song title was only one question," he was quoted by the Jakarta Globe newspaper as saying.

Yudhoyono released his third romantic pop album "I'm Certain I'll Get There" earlier this year, following up from his 2007 debut5 "My Longing6 for You", and 2009's "Evolution".

Like the 61-year-old former general's previous two albums, "I'm Certain I'll Get There" deals with themes such as love, loyalty7 and patriotism8.

The liberal ex-general won a second five-year term in July 2009 on a platform of bringing economic growth, political reform and good governance.
