“Our task is to administrate social justice. As a governor, I have several principles. First is do not corrupt, so you never break the rules. Second is to be neutral, not taking side with any even with political parties. Why I dare, because I am not afraid to lose my position as a governor. Becoming a leader, we need to be brave,” said the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama at SBM ITB Leadership Night 2015 in Jakarta (12/9/2015).
“If the government exists to administrate the social justice, there will be no conflict between public interest and business entities,” said the former regent of East Belitung. Ahok then continued to share his experience in tackling the complexity of Jakarta such as traffic jam, floods, social welfare, and how he implemented the One-door Integrated Services (PTSP/Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu).
“Jakarta no needs a smart person because all the problems have found the solution. For example, solution for the traffic jam is we have to build mass transportation and to limit the individual vehicles entering the downtown with applied expensive tariff parking and ERP (Electronic Road Pricing) system. This idea can encourage people to use public transportation.Due to flood, do relocation those people who live on the riverside by building appropriate-for-living subsidized apartment called rusun, “the governor emphasized.
