PEMALANG - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo's visit to Pegundan Village, Petarukan District, Pemalang Regency, brought good luck to a woman balloon trader named Wiwid. It sold out in just a minute.

Initially, Ganjar visited Pegundan Village to review the construction of village infrastructure as a result of financial assistance sourced from the Central Java Provincial Budget for the 2021 FY in the poor category of villages. There are three developments being carried out in the village, namely asphalting roads, constructing concrete rebate roads, and constructing macadam roads for farming.

In the middle of the visit, Ganjar, who was walking with his group, saw a traveling vendor parked a vehicle full of balloon merchandise. When approached, it turned out that the seller was a woman known as Wiwid.

"Mom, jenengan sing dodol? (Mom, are you the one selling it?). How much is one?" asked Ganjar to Wiwid, Monday, December 20.

"Yes, sir. Only Rp. 10 thousand," said Wiwid.

Ganjar then gave a signal to the children around him. He offers whoever wants balloons to take one by one.

"Come on, who wants balloons, take them one by one. Ma'am, I'm buying all the merchandise," said Ganjar.

Wiwid was surprised to hear that his merchandise was being bought. Moreover, at that moment he and his merchandise were already surrounded by children and parents who took them for their children. Wiwid also had time to be overwhelmed with the residents but he was grateful because previously he had traveled to other villages and none of them sold.

Alhamdulillah, good luck. Good luck always Mr. Ganjar. Earlier, there were 50 pieces, Rp. 500 thousand. Earlier, I was playing around in Tegal Melati, it turned out that he was lucky here. This is a record sale," said Wiwid.

Meanwhile, Ganjar said that related to the construction of infrastructure facilities, it is hoped that it can improve the economy of the community in Pegundan Village. Moreover, there is also agricultural land around the place.

"If there will be agriculture here, we hope that the farming business will be good. If everything is good the economy will run smoothly," he said.

Ganjar explained that financial assistance for pre-facilities was also a challenge given by the Central Java Provincial Government to village heads and village officials in village development. In addition, to test the integrity in development. It turns out that the results can make Ganjar proud because apart from being completed within three weeks, the quality is also good.

"It turned out that when I was given a challenge, it turned out that three weeks was enough. This road can be completed well and the results are also good. If I see how it works for three weeks and see the physical and visual quality, God willing, it will last. I entrust it to the village heads for financial assistance from the province, district and village funds, please use them with high integrity, please work with good competence so that in the end the quality is good," said Ganjar.
