Betawi people underestimated

Betawi people underestimated

From Rakyat Merdeka

The desire of the Betawi people to lead Jakarta seem to have
always been suppressed by the decision of the representatives at
the Jakarta City Council as their role in the government is not
yet taken into account.

Some of the councillors prioritize the interests of their
party rather than the people of Betawi although during election
campaigns they promised to elect a Betawi as governor for Jakarta
if their party won.

Therefore, I would like to appeal to Betawi people to be aware
of the fact and get united and fight to be leaders of the nation.

So far never has a Betawi become a governor of Jakarta. The
chance is wide open now.
