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.
