Jakarta Enters The Most Expensive City In The World, PDIP: Actually Many Poor People, But No Impartiality Of Anies
JAKARTA - Members of the PDIP Faction of the DKI Gilbert Simanjuntak Parliament responded to the question of Jakarta being named one of the most expensive cities in the world by the survey version of Bank Julies Baer's Global Wealth and Lifestyle Report 2021. The capital city of Indonesia is ranked among the 20 most expensive cities.
Gilbert has his own views. Despite being included in the list of most expensive cities, Gilbert said the economic gap between rich and poor has increased from last year. Unfortunately, according to Gilbert, this was not photographed.
"Actually more poor people than rich in DKI. But they weren't photographed because of the spending of these rich people," Gilbert told reporters Wednesday, April 14.
Later, Gilbert considered the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan seemed to have no impartiality to the poor in the program built.
Take examples such as the construction of bicycle monuments, bicycles entering the Moda Raya Terpadu (MRT) train, to the construction of permanent bike lanes. "It is understandable that Jakarta is the most expensive city because bicycles sell hard and run out in the market, including bicycles priced in the 80jutas," said Gilbert.
"Impartiality to the poor is also seen from the budget which is very minimal for MSMEs. even MSME funds come from the state budget or the center. PEN funds for economic recovery are also used for the construction of JIS stadium and the revitalization of TIM, not for economic recovery," he added.
Quoted from CNBC, Swiss bank Julius Baer released the 25 most expensive cities in the world. Jakarta ranks among the 20 most expensive cities for millionaires.
Jakarta's consideration in the most expensive city in the world is the sale of goods that are highly valued, namely whiskey drinks and women's bags and shoes.
