JAKARTA Memories of today, nine years ago, January 28, 2015, the government of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) entered 100 days. Jokowi's leadership is considered far from expectations. Many consider Jokowi's political promises during the 2014 presidential election campaign not to run optimally.

Previously, Jokowi was a popular politician in the Indonesian political map. Jokowi's simplicity is behind. This assessment made Jokowi able to win the hearts of the people of Solo, then Jakarta.

Jokowi is a politician figure who cannot be underestimated. Jokowi's existence has been initiated since serving as Mayor of Solo for two terms, from 2005-2012. Jokowi's achievement made the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) win.

They took part in bringing Jokowi from Solo to compete in the 2012 Jakarta gubernatorial election. The results were brilliant. Jokowi was able to be elected as the new Governor of DKI Jakarta. Since then Jokowi began to get a lot of attention. Jokowi has become a mediadarling.

His actions to fix Jakarta are often news. Jokowi's blusukan action and simplicity became the most prominent study. All Indonesians are attracted to the figure of Jokowi. Jokowi's increasing popularity made all PDIP cadres move quickly.

They want to make Jokowi a presidential candidate who competes in the 2014 presidential election. Jokowi is considered a guarantee to win political contestation in the same class as the Presidential Election. Moreover, Jokowi has a record of never losing in political contestation.

Puncuk dicinta ulam tiba. PDIP mengusung Jokowi yang kemudian berpair dengan Jusuf Kalla sebagai capres dan cawapres. Pair itu akan menghadapi kandidat lainnya, Prabowo Subianto-Hatta Rajasa.

Jokowi and JK's camp began to prepare a series of programs and political promises in an appropriate manner. The Mental Revolution became the main theme of the Jokowi-JK political program. The results were brilliant. All Indonesians then chose Jokowi-JK as the new President of Indonesia.

The main theme of the 2014 Jokowi-JK campaign that carries the Mental Revolution' can be interpreted that the government places the population as the central issue of development for the next five years Because in fact, it is the mental population that is expected to experience a revolution through various appropriate policy interventions. The launch of the Smart Indonesia Card Program (KIP) for Healthy Indonesia Cards (KIS), and Prosperous Family Cards (KKS) is not only to raise the quality of life for the poor and vulnerable, but can also be the main instrument in the mental revolution.

However, we need to realize that the formation of a human mentality and character begins with the family. The family is defined as the smallest unit in society consisting of a husband and wife, wife, and son, or father and son, or mother and child (referring to Law no. 52/2009). The law places the family as the first and foremost vehicle in building the physical and spiritual quality of every individual human being," explained Sonny Harry B. Harmadi and Riant Nugroho in the book Population Policy: Practice and Challenges(2020).

Jokowi's success as Indonesia's number one person brings new hope. The Indonesian side hopes that Jokowi will start carrying out campaign promises. Among other things, law enforcement matters to the welfare of the Indonesian people.

In fact, all Indonesian people seem to have too high expectations. Jokowi's 100-day leadership, which falls on January 28, 2015, is considered far from expectations. Law enforcement, especially human rights protection, seems to be going anywhere. The Indonesian people also hope that in the future Jokowi will be better and pro-people.

"In fact, Jokowi's expectations are very high. Apart from his figure, during the presidential election he communicated Nawacita beautifully: law enforcement, protection of human rights, eradication and others."

"In addition, the problem is that the effect of a number of Jokowi's controversial policies is very large. The execution of a number of death row inmates, even though their predecessors actually carried out a moratorium on the death penalty. Then the submission of a problematic candidate for Chief of Police was followed by political and legal confusion until now. The effect is very basic," explained researcher from the Center for Legal and Policy Studies, Bivitri Susanti as quoted by the BBC Indonesia website, January 28, 2015.
