JAKARTA – The Governor of the Special Region of Jakarta (DKJ) Pramono Anung will empower community of micro, small and medium enterprises which are called UMKM that have an important role in the Indonesian economy and also school canteens to run the Free Nutritious Breakfast (SBG) program. Pramono Anung also emphasized that all projects from previous governors that were beneficial to the people of Jakarta would be continued. According to Pramono, this has become the determination of his deputy, Rano Karno, who is familiarly known as Bang Doel, to continue the unfinished program.
Pramono revealed this when he was met by limited members of PPSA 17 Lemhannas Alumni at his residence in South Jakarta, Thursday (30/1/2025).
Present at the meeting was Dr. Dra. Retno Intani ZA, MSc media practitioner who is also a lecturer at Univ. Binus and Univ. Moestopo (B) also Univ Undira, Sylvia Sumarlin National ICT Council, Dyah Makhijani President Commissioner PT Visionet International (OVO), Prof. Dr. Giyatmi Rector of Univ. Sahid Jakarta, and Dr. Theo Yusuf, Chair of the PWI Jaya Honorary Council and Irdawati, Secretary of the PWI Jaya Honorary Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, UMKM INVOLVEMENT AND USE OF TECHNOLOGY
Each participant was asked for suggestions for improvements related to the development of DKJ so that it continues to be a global and cultural city. Dr. Retno proposed that Jakarta remain environmentally friendly, regarding waste handling, busway transportation and connectivity with small transportation.
Dyah Makhijani proposed that nutritious food and free breakfast involve local school canteens and involve UMKM in nearby areas. Collaboration with educational institutions such as Muhammadiyah and NU needs to be created so that able to build a sustainable ecosystem for small and medium businesses.
Meanwhile Prof. Giyatmi offered to socialize the breakfast program initiated by the DKJ Regional Government involving the Usahid Campus, because it has superior study programs, especially nutrition and food programs.
Pramono emphasized that in managing Sarapan Bergizi Gratis (SBG), his party will embrace UMKM, including school canteens. “We will not use vendors. We will involve UMKM, because this program also encourages the UMKM economy,” said Pramono.
The former Cabinet Secretary in President Jokowi’s era added that the SBG program would target school children. “The menu certainly doesn’t always have to be rice, it can be varied with cakes or snacks,” explained Pramono.
A healthy breakfast doesn’t just have to be a big meal, it can also be a snack whose nutrition and health will be controlled by the agency. In essence, the DKJ program will fall on UMKM and Jakarta residents, not on big businessmen.
This program is also not related to the national Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program. The SBG program actually works side by side with MBG to make the nutrition of students in Jakarta better.
Furthermore, Sylvia Sumarlin provided input so that the DKI Regional Government would later utilize technology to provide safe public services, for example utilizing interconnected CCTV networks owned by both the private and government. The goal is to build Jakarta as a safe and comfortable city like other developed countries.
PWI JAYA DK LITERACY
PWI Jaya Honorary Board, Dr. Theo Yusuf invited local government employees, from village heads to sub-district heads, to understand the main tasks of journalism, therefore literacy is needed so that village heads and sub-district heads in DKI do not feel afraid when dealing with journalists.
“We at Dewan Kehormatan PWI Jaya are ready to provide literacy and understanding of this,” said Theo.
All these proposals are recorded by the elected Governor and followed up or adjusted to the available program and budget. Jakarta has a regional budget of around IDR 91.3 trillion.
CONTINUE THE GOVERNOR’S PROGRAM
Pramono also emphasized that all projects from previous governors that were beneficial to the people of Jakarta needed to be continued. Determination with his deputy, Rano Karno, to continue programs that are beneficial to society.
“As governor, I don’t have any burdens, I don’t beg to anyone. “That’s why I am free to continue the programs of previous governors which have not yet been completed,” said Pramono.
He even emphasized that before ending his term as Cabinet Secretary, he had been offered the position of Minister. “But I refused this position, because I have been in public office for more than 25 years. “I am more enthusiastic about winning the election for Governor of DKI,” he said.
Pramono then talked about the woman who made him enthusiastic about leading Jakarta. “It was Mrs. Suny who inspired me to win and make them happy,” said Pramono.
Mrs. Suny is a Jakarta resident who lives in Tanah Tinggi, Senen area, Central Jakarta. He lives in a room measuring around 4×4 meters which is inhabited by 12 people. You can imagine how cramped it is to live in a small space with lots of people.
“When I asked them how could you sleep in this narrow room? They said, to be able to sleep we use a shift, sir, he said to me. After I campaigned to visit Mrs. Suny’s house. I was moved to win with the aim of helping Jakarta residents like that, ” said Mas Pram, nicknamed Promono Anung.
Therefore, said Mas Pram, I will finish the Kampung Susun Bayam (flats) project in North Jakarta which has not been completed until now. I don’t see if it’s Mr Anies’ project or not, what’s certain is that many residents are drowning on the side of the road and have to get a house to live in.
Likewise, the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) project recently sparked polemics after an inspection by the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI); After Indonesia was officially appointed as host for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup, there were things that were deemed to still need improvement. “Okay, we will do everything,” he stressed, adding that not only is it another governor’s project, but if it is beneficial for the people of Jakarta, it will continue.
“Jakarta has a regional budget of around IDR 91.3 trillion,so it is quite easy to implement programs towards the prosperity of the people of Jakarta,” he said. (Theo-Irda-RI)
