Fostering Collective Progress for Enhanced Public Welfare
“We can develop Jakarta if all of the parties and the community work together to provide support to improve public welfare,” Deputy Governor Karno stated, highlighting the crucial role of unity in achieving the city’s ambitious goals.

Preservation of Betawi culture: Recognizing and safeguarding the unique cultural heritage of Jakarta.
“Still remember when I first started working, the first task we carried out was to expedite the dredging of all the rivers, lakes, and reservoirs in Jakarta. If we had not done it immediatly, the flooding would have definitely been worse,” Karno recalled, underscoring the immediate and impactful nature of these flood mitigation efforts.

“Every development project requires time and sacrifice. Alhamdulillaah the community supports these efforts to further develop Jakarta,” he remarked, acknowledging the dedication and understanding of the citizens.This sentiment underscores the belief that shared commitment is the bedrock upon which Jakarta’s future prosperity will be built.
