JAKARTA Memories of today, six years ago, February 24, 2019, Ma'ruf Amin said he was proud because of Jokowi's achievements in building a hoarding Indonesia. Jokowi is even considered to have built a sky toll road. This narrative is intended as a development of digital infrastructure.

Previously, Jokowi was often imaged as a President who likes to build. He builds a lot of infrastructure from toll roads to airports. Jokowi considers the development to be carried out to increase economic growth.

Efforts to accelerate development are often believed to be an important instrument of people's welfare. Development is understood to break the chain of many social problems, from poverty, unemployment, and social inequality.

Increasingly development is believed to be the best option. This option was then carried out by Jokowi. The Indonesian president is trying to accelerate development so that economic growth increases. He did that because he had a big dream of increasing the lives of the Indonesian people.

He focused on infrastructure development. The development was then continued with an increase in the capacity of human resources. The rest, the Jokowi administration will regulate pro-people policies.

As a result, new roads and airports emerged. The presence of additional infrastructure is believed to be a big capital to answer challenges in the future. Even so, Jokowi's development has received little criticism.

Its effectiveness is often questioned. This condition is because Jokowi only understands that building without any in-depth analysis of development can produce abundant economic benefits.

There are several infrastructures that are built and then quiet. However, not a few developments have also brought many benefits to people's livelihoods. The development brought the Jokowi government to start developing human resources.

"In the past three years, the Government has focused on infrastructure development, the next is to improve the quality of human resources. There are 6 sectors that are the focus of the Roadmap Vocational Development Policy, namely: Manufacturing, Agribusiness, Tourism, Health, Migrant Workers, and the Digital Economy," said Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Darmin Nasution as quoted on the econ.go.id page, April 25, 2018.

The acceleration of infrastructure development carried out by Jokowi is indeed a lot. The development assessment is also Jokowi's big capital with Ma'ruf Amin to participate in the political contestation: the 2018 presidential election.

Ma'ruf himself agreed. He said Jokowi was not only good at building land and sea infrastructure on February 24, 2019. Ma'ruf also said Jokowi was good at building sky infrastructure.

The celestial infrastructure he meant was introduced as the sky toll road. The sky toll road itself is Indonesia's digital infrastructure. This narrative made big Indonesian startups born such as Gojek, Tokopedia, and so on.

The development is considered by Ma'ruf to be the main determinant of the birth of a startup that can reach the unicorn level - a valuation of 1 billion US dollars. He considered that this condition would continue if Jokowi and himself were given the chance to win the 2018 presidential election and become the leader of Indonesia.

"What's amazing is that we already have great infrastructure investment. Not only land roads, sea highways, air roads, but I also call the sky toll road. Namely the name we use for digital.

"God willing, in the future a start-up start-up company will also be born because digitalization is available for infrastructure. Later a new unicorn will be born in Indonesia," said Ma'ruf as quoted by the COMPASS.com page on February 24, 2019.
