He appreciates the hard work of the Jakarta government in revitalizing the city through the development of culture, cuisine, and increasingly attractive public spaces. These various innovations give residents more places to enjoy life in their own city.

"This achievement serves as motivation to continue self-improvement. There are still many things that can be improved so that the happiness of the residents becomes more evenly distributed and sustainable," he explained.

He added, the legislative together with the executive will continue to collaborate in promoting policies that directly impact the lives of residents, aiming for happiness not only to be felt in the city center but also to reach all areas of Jakarta.

He believes that there are still several aspects that need improvement to boost Jakarta's ranking as the happiest city in the world, such as comfort and integration of public transportation, cleaner air quality, the addition of green open spaces and city parks, and equitable access and public facilities for all residents.

"Happy Jakarta is a Jakarta where its residents feel safe, healthy, and optimistic about their future," he said.
