BOGOR - The Mayor of Bogor, West Java, Bima Arya Sugiarto invites the entire community to continue to strengthen unity and togetherness in the midst of diversity to continue to build a harmonious, peaceful, and compact society.
"The character of Bogor residents is friendly, solid, and compact," said Bima Arya at Bogor City Hall, Friday, during the webinar "Nationalism for Indonesia: An Intelligent and Firm Generation of Nation" quoted by Antara, Friday, August 20.
According to Bima Arya, his views regarding the unity and togetherness of Bogor residents in the midst of diversity have also been confirmed by several scientific surveys.
One of them and the most recent is the "Community Perceptions of COVID-19" survey in Bogor City, by the Expert Team from IPB University, which was presented at Bogor City Hall, Sunday, August 15.
"The conclusion is that 84 percent of Bogor residents are optimistic that COVID-19 can be defeated," he said.
According to Bima, the current condition is indeed difficult. "To suppress the spread of COVID-19, people must be able to restrain themselves, study and work from home. There are no crowds and crowds," he said.
However, most residents of Bogor City have an optimistic perception and care about helping fellow residents who are in trouble.
According to Bima, the story about Bogor is a story about togetherness and sharing. "However, it must be realized that what is proud is not what is free, but unity and togetherness that must be strengthened," he said.
Bima Arya also said that one of the efforts to continue to strengthen unity and togetherness in diversity is the Red and White Festival (FMP) which is held every August in Bogor City.
According to him, in the city of Bogor waving red and white banners in every corner of the city is extraordinary. "It's not just red and white, but behind it there is a meaning of mutual cooperation. So, the capital that is already owned must be strengthened," he said.
This FMP activity every August is also exposed through channels that are close to young people, such as youtube, tik tok, facebook, and so on, so that these activities can inspire youth in Bogor and other areas.
Through this FMP activity, he said, it can consolidate all good elements, the state civil apparatus (ASN), police, TNI, politicians, businessmen, lecturers, students, communities, and so on.
