JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan held the Jakarta E-Prix 2022 Social Friendly Night at DKI Jakarta City Hall tonight.

A number of related parties such as the ranks of PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) as the organizer of Formula E, the Jakarta E-Prix 2022 organizing committee, sponsors, and supporting parties were also present at the dinner.

One thing that caught his attention, Anies also invited MSME players who participated in trading in the Formula E racing event last June 4. In fact, Anies invited a meatball trader named Rully Renaldi to stand beside him at the press conference of this event.

"On my left is Mr. Rully Renaldi. Mr. Renaldi is a Bakso Bakwan Aroma SoWan entrepreneur who also participated yesterday," said Anies at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Friday, June 24.

Touching on the meatball maker, recently PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri had issued a statement that she didn't want to have a son-in-law like a meatball baker. Suddenly, this statement drew criticism from various parties.

Anies was also asked about his intention to invite and present the meatball maker who is also registered in the Jakpreneur-assisted MSME in this press conference and his relation to Megawati's statement.

Anies answered that he not only invited Rully to the dinner, but also a number of other MSMEs. Meanwhile, he did not answer questions about Megawati's remarks.

"We invite all MSMEs, we give all of them opportunities. Well tonight there are some who are in Jakarta they are attending tonight's event," said Anies.

As previously reported, Megawati Soekarnoputri joked about the criteria for the in-laws candidate she would choose. This was conveyed on the sidelines of the opening of the PDIP National Working Meeting (Rakernas) at the Party School, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta on Tuesday, June 21.

In front of her cadres, Megawati admitted to warning her children not to choose the wrong life partner. One of the conditions he asked for was not to choose a partner who looked like a meatball baker.

"When I wanted to have a son-in-law, I already told my three children (people), be careful if you look for someone who looks like a meatball seller," said Megawati, laughing.
