JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV – PDI-P president Megawati Soekarnoputri admitted that she witnessed Jakarta’s living conditions in the 1950s.
However, Megawati regrets that the current situation in Jakarta is a disaster.
“Because I am also a living witness in Jakarta. When I moved from Yogyakarta to Jakarta in 1950 … But now Jakarta is in ruins. Why? It should be possible to be a city of the intellect.” Of course, academics, engineers, etc. “, said Megawati as a speaker at the award ceremony of the ‘City of intellectuals’, on Tuesday (10,11,2020).
According to him, the regional leaders have an important contribution in the construction of their city to become a city of intellectuals.
Regarding Megawati’s criticisms, DKI Jakarta Deputy Governor Ahmad Riza Patria assessed the mega-criticism as a contribution to the DKI provincial government.
According to Riza, Jakarta is improving. This is demonstrated by the award for the city with the best transport management in the world.
An urban observer from the University of Trisakti, Yayat Supriyatna, relayed a different answer.
Yayat assessed that Jakarta only focuses on physical development, but has forgotten to train its people.
Additionally, Mega said his party’s regional chiefs were able to help the city gain awareness because they were taught in the PDIP.
On the occasion of the award ceremony, three regions that received the award were Semarang City, Solo City and Surabaya City.
“Thank you for taking first, second and third place, Semarang, Solo, Surabaya, these are the children of my group,” Megawati said in a written statement.
