Anies Baswedan's Discourse On Making Persija Day Civil Servant Costumes A Polemic In History Of The Day, July 2, 2019

JAKARTA History today, six years ago, July 2, 2019, the discourse of Anies Baswedan making DKI Jakarta civil servants uniform 'Persija Day' when the Kemayoran Tigers played a polemic. Anies' policy is considered strange because not all civil servants like balls.

Previously, efforts to support local football clubs were often carried out by regional heads. This support is considered part of getting the sympathy of its citizens. Anies also carried out the narrative. He tried to be total in supporting Persija Jakarta.

The momentum of the proud football club DKI Jakarta, Persija won Liga 1 in 2018 was greeted with joy. The residents of Jakarta partyd. Anies Baswedan did not want to be left behind. He participated in celebrating Persija Jakarta to win.

Traces of Anies' support are similar to other regional heads who often support local teams. Anies also wants all DKI Jakarta civil servants to do the same.

Anies also tried to think about his steps. He finally announced the discourse on making the PNS Persija Day uniform on July 1, 2019. The uniform will be worn every day the Kemayoran Kind of team plays.

The uniform will be used during working hours. He imagines how proud civil servants are to wear Persija uniforms to enter the office. The goal is none other than the provincial government's support for the favorite club of Jakarta residents.

Anies himself does not want civil servants to wear ordinary Persija uniforms or be in the form of t-shirts. He tries to find the right and special design.

Everything is so that the uniforms worn are suitable for meetings or work. Anies even imagined that the discourse would get broad support from DKI Jakarta civil servants.

"Look, if Persija has a new match, we will wear Persija clothes, but we want to prepare the costume first because the design is different (with Persija's). So that if the meetings also don't wear an oblong T-shirt. This shouldn't have been discussed, I don't know where it leaked from," said Anies as quoted on the tempo page.co, July 1, 2019.

Instead of getting broad support, Anies' discourse received opposition. Civil Servants themselves felt Anies' idea sounded strange the day after the discourse on making Persija Day costumes was introduced to the public, or on July 2, 2019.

This condition is because not all DKI Jakarta civil servants like the ball. Politicians did not remain silent. They considered Anies' move to be excessive. Anies is considered to have failed to determine the priority scale, even though Jakarta's problems are piled up.

There are also those who think that support for Persija does not have to be uniform. Support can be with various other things. if forced the discourse of persija costumes for civil servants is considered to bring problems. Anies' sincere support for Persija was questioned because there was political content.

"Mr. Anies has a lot of homework to do, that's not the priority of Mr. Anies, that's what I mean. So the priority scale of Mr. Anies working is, not just temporary like that. It's certain that it will burden our APBD.

"Why don't we use it for other things? The form of support for Persija can be in other forms, but not too much like that. Yes, for example, when Persija competes. Mr. Anies as the Governor of DKI when (Persija) competes in Jakarta can recommend to residents 'Yuk, we support together, at least pray to our proud team', right like that," said Chairman of the F-PDIP DPRD DKI Jakarta Gembong Warsono as quoted on the website. detik.com, July 2, 2019.
