6. What do you think of the result of the conducted survey? 6. I think the survey is true. I agree
how big the impact is about good values of religion and faith that we have. While life can be hard
at the best of times, faith and religion is the knowledge, deep down inside, that things will get
better. It’s taking the next step when you can’t see the entire staircase. Simply put, life would
fail to have reason if we didn’t have faith and religion.

7. There is a policy that wearing hijab is mandatory for woman in Aceh. How do you deal with
that? : In my poin of view it is a culture that has been carried out since ancient times, and I don't
mind it as long as it is a positive and useful thing for many people.
