It is a part of our plan to have better development in 2019

"It is a part of our plan to have better development in 2019. I consider its vision and mission are clear, while its strategy needs to be affirmed," he said, Thursday (1/11).

He wants development strategy could be based on justice and sided to the weak, such as handicapped people, women, and children.

He also hopes development could encourage Jakarta to be a global city which welcomes world change and advancement without disregards environmental sustainability.

He asked Regional Development Plan Agency (Bappeda) and regional governments to utilize Rembuk RW optimally by creating prioritized development plans in each RWs.

Thus, he continued, development could be focused on strategic problems and necessities of each RWs.
