"It's
not easy to find a leader who can manage Jakarta. Takes a strong
leader, decisive, and courageous." Speech of President Sukarno, 28 April
1966, the inauguration as Governor of Jakarta Ali Sadikin already made
clear that his leadership qualities of a Governor of Jakarta.
At that time, many urban problems, such as water shortages, corruption, crime, litter, and the flood, still haunt Jakarta. President Sukarno dreamed of all these problems disappear and Jakarta have become the pride of the world. For this reason, the figure of the leader of a hard, firm, and brave a requirement.
After that, six times Jakarta had changed leaders. Jakarta was the hope of making known to the world successfully. Unfortunately, contrary to the stature Jakarta imagined. Now, the world is already familiar with Jakarta as the city flooded, traffic, and criminal. The question now, what kind of leadership figures who become ideal citizens?
The
results of collecting the opinions of Jakarta Compass Research
conducted last week shows, what is the assessment of the condition of
leadership Jakarta Soekarno is still relevant to current needs. Although
a variety of backgrounds, such as age, education level, and employment
background to the economic status of a person's candidate for governor,
contributed to public consideration, all these considerations must be
followed by the character of leaders in running the firm leadership of
the capital.
When
examined, in this poll, 74 percent of respondents said the candidates
educational background factors governor deemed sufficient to affect the
selection of candidates for governor of Jakarta. In
addition, age and economic status is also a consideration for some 50
percent of respondents when determining the choice of new leaders.
If
interpreted, these factors indicate a desire of citizens for leadership
figure who has a background of higher education, a relatively mature
age, and quite inadequate in terms of economy, so do not be a burden at
the time of the lead.
Besides the three factors that, in terms of job skills or background there are also a variety of citizen preferences. At least three of the background work that is likely to interest the military, government bureaucrats, and academics. If
assessed, these three professional background showed a strong desire to
Jakarta residents led by a strong figure, intelligent, and have
experience of government bureaucracy.
Terms
of overall leadership expressed by residents, such as professional
background, educational level, economic background, and age, in fact it
is not enough to be considered candidates for voters in Jakarta. All backgrounds must be followed also by the character of a leader's decisiveness. The hope expressed in the opinion of 35 percent of respondents.
Impartiality
Furthermore, 18 percent of respondents said the nature of truth must also be owned by the head of the Jakarta area. The rest want a leader that holds an unselfish nature, simple, wise, fair, and discipline.
A
number of desirable requirements that leadership is an important
consideration for residents because they are a reflection of the
performance of the governors who had led the earlier Jakarta. Of the 12 regional heads who have to manage the nation's capital, the majority of age-old, 50-60 years old. Ali Sadikin who was governor of the period 1966-1977, including young leaders first because when he was 39 years old.
In
terms of education, the majority of highly educated leaders of Jakarta
who have completed undergraduate or graduate education of military
education. Only one regional head of non-formal education, namely Henk Ngantung. As a painter, the governor who served in the period 1964-1965 was assigned to President Soekarno make Jakarta a city of culture.
In terms of professional background, 7 of the 12 military governors have graduated from the Army or Navy. Many leaders of the dominant military background occurs in the New Order era. When
Jakarta led by the leader of a military background, urban issues, such
as slums and the availability of clean water, a lot of the focus of
attention. Problems
solved with a slum improvement program kampung "MH Thamrin" so that the
Jakarta slums become more organized and healthy. Availability
of clean water in Jakarta is answered by the provision of drinking
water treatment plants in some areas and increase the water distribution
pipes. However,
with increased population and the growing area of Jakarta, now two
problems arise again and become increasingly complex.
Actually not only the leader of the military with experience in urban issues. Leader of the government officials also managed to develop new programs that are still used. Sudiro
(1953-1960), for example, Jakarta had split into three administrative
regions (districts), the North Jakarta, Central Jakarta and South
Jakarta. Similarly, the concept of unification of RT and RK into RW.
Similarly, residential development policies for the poor to the attention of Mayor Sjamsuridjal (1951-1953). Not
only that, the leader who had led the Township Jakarta is also focused
on providing clean water by building water purification installations
and increase the number of general plumbing and fire hydrant.
However, over time, it still matters covered in Jakarta. It is now not easy to choose the leader of Jakarta. Issues as the capital of the state and metropolitan cities will continue to grow, sustained, and there would be no end. Flood, waste, congestion, and crime continues to occur even though a lot of the handling policy leaders have done before.
Congestion and poverty
Currently,
36 percent of respondents felt the burden of traffic congestion because
it is extremely disturbing their economic activity and reduce the
performance of the public.
In
addition to congestion, 17.6 percent of respondents also said the
problem of poverty is felt should be dealt with the new governor of
Jakarta. Poverty is the root of the problems other cities, such as crime, hooliganism, slums, and unemployment.
Flooding also still occur each year in Jakarta. Approximately 13 percent of respondents think the annual illnesses such as major priorities to be resolved was elected governor.
A wide range of solutions from the first has not been able to resolve this issue.
Is assertive and honest leaders who will be born in Jakarta? July 11, 2012 ballot will determine the future of it.
