"Let's help our friends who need our help there," Jonatan wrote on his Instagram story.

Indonesia brought the Thomas Cup back to the homeland after 19 years.

This happened after the national team won 3-0 over China in a match that took place in Denmark, October 17.

Previously, Youth and Sports Minister Zainudin Amali stated that the Thomas Cup was a single event, so there was no proposal to give bonuses to the athletes.

However, in a virtual press conference on Saturday (4/12), he said otherwise. "This is not due to public pressure. We have coordinated with the Finance Ministry. So, we really follow the rules," said Amali. (antara/mcr15/mcr20/jpnn)
