JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan gave a satirical expression to certain parties regarding the implementation of Formula E on Saturday, June 4.
With a subtle satire, Anies apologized if this electric car racing event was disappointing to people who were previously pessimistic about this racing title.
This was conveyed by Anies in the national working meeting (rakernas) I Al Jam'iyatul Washliyah at the Mercure Hotel, Ancol, North Jakarta on Friday, June 10 and aired on the UMTC Channel YouTube account.
Initially, Anies assumed that if the National Working Meeting of Islamic mass organizations was held a week earlier, then the time would be close to the implementation of Formula E which was also held in Ancol.
Anies alluded to the implementation of Formula E which was considered disappointing by pessimistic people.
"I apologize to some (people) because yesterday's Formula E was disappointing, disappointing people who were pessimistic could happen," said Anies as quoted by VOI on Monday, June 13.
Suddenly there was laughter from the National Coordination Meeting participants who heard this statement. From this statement, participants understood that Anies viewed the Formula E event as a success. Meanwhile, people who are pessimistic about him get disappointed about it.
"The pessimist is very disappointed. Sorry to disappoint. We really want to make everyone happy, I see," he continued.
Previously, after the race, Anies said that Formula E was not only a celebration for Jakarta, but also for Indonesia, and even the world.
"The excitement that unites, not distances. Sport has always been able to unite across borders," said Anies in the aniesbaswedan Instagram account, Monday, June 6.
Anies thanked President Joko Widodo and a number of high-ranking state officials who cheered together at the Ancol Circuit during the electric car racing event.
The former Minister of Education and Culture hopes that this racing event, which previously reaped the pros and cons, can provide special memories for all those who attend watching the circuit.
"Thank you for being part of the history of the first Formula-E in Indonesia. Hopefully it will provide beautiful and memorable memories for all of them," he added.
