JAKARTA - The candidate pair (paslon) for governor and deputy governor of DKI Jakarta number 1, Ridwan Kamil-Suswono (RIDO) has a number of missions if elected later.

Both of them are trying to build Betawi culture in this city to improve the quality of human resources (HR). This was said by Ridwan Kamil in the Jakarta Pilkada Cagub-cawagub debate at JI-EXPO Kemayoran, Jakarta.

"Regarding cultural sustainability, Jakarta is indeed a node of all cultures, but Betawi culture as a local wisdom, of course we prioritize it by building it," said Ridwan Kamil as quoted by Antara.

For human resources (HR) in Jakarta, he continued, existing human resources must be ready to face global competition towards Indonesia gold 2045.

Regarding Generation Z, said Kang Emil, Ridwan Kamil's nickname, his party will work together with Generation Z in overcoming difficulties and expectations about cultural expression work.

"Protecting women and children as well as people with disabilities is certainly a spirit to provide protection," he said.

Regarding public transportation, it must be carried out thoroughly and must reach.

"So we hope that the sense of security and comfort before returning home is what we hope for," said Kang Emil.

Meanwhile, governance must be responsive and adaptive, not just services that are not only technical.

"But, we want to build trust in Jakarta residents in the new government," said Ridwan Kamil.
