"Besides Jakarta, the success of organizing this Formula E electric vehicle race carries the name of Indonesia. All parties must support and have responsibility for the success of this event," he expressed, Friday (6/3).

He explained that it would also be a socialization effort related to the use of eco-friendly vehicles as they do not use fossil fuels.

"This electric vehicle becomes a realistic alternative to support joint efforts to overcome climate change," he explained.

According to him, it was also momentum for the revival of the economy which was declining due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

"As we know, the MSMEs or Jakpreneurs will enliven the race for promoting and marketing local products, including spectators from abroad or from outside Jakarta, this will increase hotel occupancy and restaurant visits," he continued.

As a Betawian figure, he hoped that Betawi culinary and cultural arts could also be displayed during the event.

"It can also be at the hotel where the racers and officials stay. This is a momentum thus our local wisdom can be increasingly recognized by the international community," he stated.
