JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan attended the opening of the Ijtima Ulama Fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). In his remarks, Anies touched on public facilities in Jakarta, especially transportation.

Anies said that public transportation in the capital was created by applying the principle of equality. So, he said, there is no class division of passengers taking public transportation.

"Why build public transportation? Because in public transportation there is no business class, no VIP class, everything has equality, build equality by using public transportation", said Anies as seen on the YouTube OFFICIAL TVMUI broadcast, Tuesday, November 9.

Anies also invited the Ijtima Ulama participants to enjoy the atmosphere of the city center by trying out the Jakarta MRT to feel walking on the sidewalks of Jenderal Sudirman Street.

Remembering, the location of the Ijtima Ulama event was held at the Sultan Hotel, Central Jakarta, which is close to the Sudirman area.

"Incidentally, the place is in Jenderal Sudirman Street area. Hopefully, we can take the time. If possible, we will arrange for Ijtima participants to take the time to use the facilities in this place", said Anies.

"If anyone has never used the MRT, we invite the place upfront, they can walk around Jalan Sudirman, enjoy the sidewalks that we built together", Anies continued.

It is known that the Ijtima Ulama Fatwa MUI event in Indonesia VI was also attended by Vice President Ma'ruf Amin, Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, Mahfud MD, MUI General Chair, Miftach Akhyar, and other MUI officials.
