Exemplifying The Success Ridwan Kamil-Risma, Danny Pomanto: I Am A Lorong Boy Ready To Move Again In Makassar

MAKASSAR - Candidate for Mayor of Makassar serial number 1 M Ramdhan 'Danny' Pomanto told of his long career journey including in Makassar city government when he was mayor.

“Can an architect be mayor? I am not the first architect to have earned that trust. After helping a friend to become mayor and accompanying him for 10 years, we finally gained confidence in the last period, ”said Danny Pomanto, Sunday, November 29.

The trip was called Danny Pomanto not easy. Danny Pomanto, who is paired with the vice mayor of Makassar Fatmawati Rusdi, said he was grateful for the process.

In Indonesia, Danny Pomanto said famous figures such as West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil, Surabaya Mayor Tri Rismaharini (Risma), were examples of two architects who managed to run the government very well.

"On the same stage, we have received an award from the President of the Republic of Indonesia as the Best Mayor. We certainly remember that Ir. Soekarno, Indonesia's first president, was an architect too. So was Abraham Lincoln. This architect once led America and became a legend, "said Danny Pomanto.

“However, it could be that I was the first gangster (gang) kid to become mayor. If Allah SWT still gives way, supported by all the people of Makassar, Mrs. Fatma and I will use our best to bring back this city, "he continued.

He hopes that other candidates for mayor will be born from within the alley in the next generation. It doesn't matter if the candidate comes from an ordinary family.

"Everyone has the same opportunity. As long as he has a great determination to build Makassar City, donate himself to serve the interests of the community, and take the best ways to realize his dreams, God willing, everyone can become mayors, "said Danny Pomanto.

Candidate pair number 1 Moh Ramdhan Pomanto-Fatmawati Rusdi emphasized the program for Makassar City residents according to the acronym ADAMA.

"My brothers and sisters, residents of Makassar City, Mr. Danny and I would like to thank you for your togetherness and support. In line with our theme tonight, God willing, we will manage Makassar City with ADAMA principles, "said the candidate for deputy mayor of Makassar Fatmawati closing the Makassar Pilkada debate, Tuesday, November 24.

A is mandate and anti-corruption for bureaucratic reform. D for close and reliable for public services. Then A is safe and comfortable for urban planning, and MA means independent and stable for the economy.

"Danny-Fatma presented evidence and offered a program not a promise because one piece of evidence is far better than a thousand promises," said Fatmawati Rusdi.

Candidate for mayor Danny Pomanto added Fatmawati's statement. ADAMA's vision and mission is part of the Law.

"No vision and mission is nonsense," he said.
