Yes, believe it or not. Path's brand image is still relatively intact in Indonesia, as compared to USA (where the privacy concerns has tarnished it). It's all to do with one's status, and Indonesian election is more or less a popularity contest. Of course, you'd get more points in investing in a household name (i.e. Path), especially being a 'Western' company. The effect is similar to Erick Thohir's [1] stake in Intermilan, D.C. United, and 76ers. He's probably more popular than the President right now ;) [1] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erick_Thohir http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erick_Thohir
