Depok Trending On Twitter Due To Billboards Of Residents' Gratitude To Mayor Idris

JAKARTA - Depok has once again taken the world of Twitter by storm. A billboard with the theme of the inauguration of the Dewi Sartika Underpass is the cause of this city being the subject of discussion again.

Unfortunately, no positive comments appear. But the banter from netizens.

The first is about billboards -- now it has been removed. The billboard contains tickling words.

The billboard contains gratitude from Depok residents to Depok Mayor M Idris regarding the construction of the Dewi Sartika underpass. The billboard iron pole happened to be installed near this underpass.

Inside the billboard, there are the logos of the City Government of Depok, Depok Friendly City, and the City of Depok Paricara Dharma.

"We Depok City residents express our gratitude to the Mayor of Depok for the construction of the underpass at Dewi Sartika Margonda Raya," the billboard read. Do not forget that there is a photo of Mayor Idris which is quite large above this line of sentences.

It does seem unusual because it means that residents are willing to donate in order to be able to rent advertisements on billboards.

The 970-meter underpass that connects Dewi Sartika Street, Kartini Street, and Margonda Street has now been completed and can be utilized by the people of Depok City.

The Dewi Sartika Underpass was inaugurated by the Governor of West Java Ridwan Kamil who was accompanied by the Mayor of Depok, Mohammad Idris, last Tuesday 17 January.

In fact at that time, Mohammad Idris just thanked Kang Emil because the construction of the underpass which was the result of the collaboration of the Depok City Government (Pemkot) with the West Java Provincial Government (Pemprov) was completed.

"All of us Depok residents would like to thank the Governor, thank you Kang Emil," said Mohammad Idris in his remarks.

Kiai Idris, as he is known, said that the completion of the underpass construction was proof of collaborative work between the Depok City Government and the West Java Provincial Government. Purchase of land using the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) for the City of Depok and the construction of the development is carried out by the West Java Provincial Government.
