According to RK, Mohammad Husni Thamrin or MH Thamrin taught him to love the poor, especially those in the villages.

"That's why the inspiration for the improvement of villages that are not all moved is well organized, it will also become a program for the RIDO pair," said RK at the Karet Bivak TPU, Wednesday, September 25.

This, continued RK, is an inspiration for the RIDO pair in one of 70 programs if elected governor and deputy governor of Jakarta. Namely, providing Rp200 million in each community unit (RW).

"Why in RW-RW we will provide Rp200 million per year for RW, then our RT/RW salary incentives will be increased as high as possible, that's part so that development in the RW village area can be carried out democratically and maximally," he continued.

In addition, the former Governor of West Java also learned from the figure of the first First First First Lady Fatmawati Soekarno. RK said that the mother of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Megawati Soekarnoputri was a woman who had determination.

"We learn from the determination in the struggle everywhere so that the value of the family becomes the value we want, the citizens of Jakarta are happy," he said.

Then from Ismail Marzuki, said RK, he learned that Jakarta residents could be encouraged by songs with works. Later, RK-Suswono will revive Betawi art at the Car Free Night event.

"So later we will also hold a song competition about Jakarta, a song competition about Betawi will be made on car free night. Later we will make a Lenong cultural event to be revived, that's just strengthening," said the former Mayor of Bandung.

Finally, RK also learned from the figure of Haji Lulung, who is a Betawi Bamus figure. The IKN curator learned about originality, regarding the leader as he is.

"And also from Haji Lulung we learn to always be original, always as is. So that person is honest as it is," concluded RK.
