JAKARTA - Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), Diana Dewi, has a message and hope for the next Jakarta leadership candidate. To the elected governor and deputy governor candidates, he emphasized the importance of paying more attention to small entrepreneurs.

Diana in her written statement received in Jakarta, Sunday, also highlighted the procurement of goods and services in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) which she considered needed to accommodate more small entrepreneurs.

"Although all entrepreneurs are required to be professional, I think that not all logs are made, partial needs are needed. This is important, so there will be more business friends who can get the opportunity," he said, quoted from ANTARA, November 10.

Even though there is already an e-Catalog, the reality of "insiders" (ordals) in the process of procuring goods and services still exists. "The phenomenon of 'ordal' does not necessarily disappear even though there is an e-Catalog," he said.

In welcoming Jakarta as a global city, the DKI Jakarta Chamber of Commerce and Industry continues to be committed to providing guidance to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

He also hopes that the future leaders of Jakarta will not only provide loans to the success team, but really for the people in need.

"Although there still has to be curation, still don't put the aid first, it's ordal. This is not allowed, everything must be fair," he said.

Leaders in the central and future governments of DKI Jakarta Province also need to pay great attention to overcoming social inequality.

"I want Jakarta to be even better. The existence of this gap makes it difficult for us to move forward. All countries or developed cities must feel prosperous," he said.

Pro Jakarta activist Mohammad Syaiful Jihad hopes that Diana Dewi can continue to take part in advancing and participating in the welfare of Jakarta residents.

"Bu Diana Dewi is a businessman figure who can be a role model for all. It has been very tested and capable, one of the indicators has been re-elected as Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the period 2024-2029," he said.
