Movement. Flooding. Defilement. For so long, these three characteristics characterized life in the clamoring city of Jakarta. "That is Jakarta," subjects, particularly young people, frequently murmured in misery.
At that point along came Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama in November 2014, when he was sworn into office as the Jakarta senator. Since his part as appointee senator to now President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, Pak Ahok, as he is regularly called, has conveyed exceptional changes to Jakarta's administration.
Looking past the governmental issues and the reactions regularly tossed at Ahok for his rash and marginal hostile remarks, I feel Governor Ahok's stern administration is maybe what Jakarta needs.
Amid a school trip to City Hall, I had the chance to listen to Governor Ahok's rationality and witticism for his work in office. "We are not a bum nation," he said, "Our kin need to fabricate the country all in all."
I observed that sentence exceptionally moving in light of the fact that I need Indonesia to "step up" its status from being known as an underdeveloped nation. In any case, a country is nothing without its kin. Jakarta, being the heart of Indonesia, is our beginning stage to induce that change. It's truly the residents who occupy Jakarta that will characterize what our country will get to be.
(Perused likewise: The recovery of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika among the more youthful eras)
So how? "For individuals to advance, we have to make [the people's] head, stomach and wallets full; we have to give training, a reasonable nourishment supply and open doors for a stable monetary circumstance," Ahok said. His vision successfully works on American clinician Abraham Harold Maslow's pecking order of requirements — once fundamental necessities are satisfied, then the general population can be persuaded to contribute profitably to country building endeavors.
What I find most exemplary about Pak Ahok is his valiance in defending his standards, in spite of his "twofold minority" status, being of Chinese drop and a Christian. He sets out to battle against defilement and Jakarta's untidy administration. His arrangement of straightforwardness in all legislative exercises is another idea in Indonesia's history of debasement. All administration movement is journaled online for the general population to get to. Straightforwardness fabricates the basic establishment of trust between a legislature and its kin. Without trust, the general population of Jakarta will dependably embrace a wary state of mind toward our administration and won't coordinate with the administration's approaches. Without collaboration, by what method can our city work?
An augmentation of Pak Ahok's fortitude is likewise showed in his solidness in real life. It's one thing to voice solid sentiments, however another to complete what one says. "Judge me for my activities," Pak Ahok has frequently been cited as saying in media reports. His activities surely say a lot. From the enormous things like overseeing shady areas of town in Jakarta to the seemingly insignificant details like augmenting walkways, Pak Ahok's guarantees don't miss the mark regarding the results. With the assistance of the military, Pak Ahok is the main representative to uphold directions on the posse controlled zones of Kalidojo.
(Perused likewise: Ahok goes for Jakarta to have appealing parks)
His grit, I feel, is established in his solid energy to serve his nation.
Amid a crusade rally on Dec. 15, Pak Ahok said, "Pejabat itu harus menjadi pelayan". Demonstrating that on the off chance that you need to be an administration official, you initially need to see how to serve others. To serve, one needs to tune in.
Albeit normally known as a "speaker," Pak Ahok has executed a few stages to go about as his "listening ear". One conspicuous activity is his Jakarta Smart City (JSC) extend as a stage for accepting input from the general population. Utilizing cell phone innovation is not just an ingenious approach to augment existing utilities, but at the same time it's a path for Pak Ahok to interface with his kin and demonstrate to them that he values their assessments.
While sketching out his arrangements to enhance five primary parts of Jakarta: wellbeing, training, lodging, transportation framework and staple nourishments (sembako), Pak Ahok underscored how instruction ought to be at the front line of any push to enhance our city. Yet, past offering instruction, we have to give the general population a stage to seek after their attempts.
So to the adolescent of Jakarta: It's critical to know about the workings of our legislature since we are the future pioneers of our nation and we have to start sharpening our aptitudes in arrangement for that errand. In spite of the fact that you may not concur with some of Pak Ahok's talk, if there is one imperative ability we can gain from him, it would be his answer arranged mindset.
Yes, Jakarta is loaded with issues, however now we need to look forward. We can improve and offer answers for Jakarta's activity, flooding and defilement.
