Former Jakarta Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama believes that Jakarta will continue to develop and become a world-class megacity and a global business city. This is an unavoidable process.
Jakarta will continue to progress. No one can't stop it
"Jakarta will continue to progress. No one can't stop it, this city will keep growing as it already has a history. Jakarta will definitely become a megapolitan city. The question is whether it meets the requirements to become a megapolitan city or not," he expressed, when he attended the Bentang Harapan Jakarta (JakASA) event, at Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday (12/31).
He also emphasized the importance of social justice leadership for all its residents. The key to Jakarta's success is having a leader who is able to meet the demands of social justice.
