According to Pratikno, it was common should there be changes in the draft format before the president reads it.
“Every technical improvement such as typo and others are done under the approval of the DPR (House of Representatives), which is proved by the initials of the Legislation Body (Baleg) Head,” he said.
Pratikno added that determining the similarity of documents did not depend on the number of pages. Because, the same document in different formats of paper sizes, margins, and fonts could result in different numbers of pages.Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.
