Biography: His father is a malam, so he cares for the bicycle store when he comes home on vacation from university, where he is studying religion. He hopes to do a PhD and become a lecturer. He also gets to know about other people by living alongside them and seeing their religious practices. Leaders should tell us to live as brothers. The media educates us about the real teachings of other religions, for instance the negative impressions of Islam being violent.
