Starting a Netizen Meeting with the theme of the New Era of Indonesian Oil and Gas: #OilandGasInvestmentsMoreInterested, Arcandra throws the question, "The discovery that occurred after the 2000s or even before the 2000s, what country was got the big result?" Some netizen also answered the United States (US).

Arcandra asked once more, "Why is a great change in the world by people there (USA)? Why is not our country?" According to Arcandra, the fundamental difference from Indonesian society and the United States is in the way of thinking. "After 1,5 years have been living her, I feel there is a very different mindset. Let see, our mindset in Indonesia. All of things is prohibited, except the one is ordered. Unlike there (USA), you can do everything, except the forbidden things because if you have to be ordered all, it is distracted our creativity. Basically, people think it can create anything," he said.

In addition, US people are always learning from failure. Failure is considered as a stepping stone for further technology development. "Over there, people learn from failure, or as stepping stone for the next technology. If in Indonesia, technology development using APBN and failed, what's happen?" he added. Arcandra exemplified the development technology of Apollo 11 and the invention of a bulb that changed the civilization of the world after failing many times.

"If this Ministry, where is going to go?" he continued. Three weeks ago we roughly sliced out the rules, there are 11 regulations that we cut, where this direction to go about? Two weeks ago we added 32 more rules we cut. February 12 we cut again 22 (regulations). Until the end of the future, there are 100 rules that we will slice out. What our hashtag us today is? Oil and Gas Investment More Interested," said Arcandra.
