DARKNESS had just descended upon Rempang Island, Batam, Riau Islands, when Investment Minister Bahlil Lahadalia came to the home of Gerisman Ahmad, the community leader of Rempang-Galang, on Monday, September 18. Bahlil came alone, without giving prior notice. “I come here like a son visiting his father,” Bahlil said.

Gerisman’s house is located on the right side of the entrance road to Pantai Melayu, Jalan Trans Balerang
