JAKARTA - PSI General Chair Giring Ganesha said there was a lesson behind the incident where he fell to the ground in the Formula E circuit area before the asphalting was carried out, in early January.
Giring said that if he had not fallen into the wet ground at the construction site of the Ancol circuit at that time, the Formula E event would not have run smoothly.
"Precisely because yesterday we were escorting it until I dropped out, they thanked me. Because at that time, if I didn't control it, I didn't get caught up, maybe they would relax and the program (Formula E) wouldn't happen", said Giring in Jakarta, Monday, June 6th.
In Giring's opinion, the incident that fell into the mud made Formula E organizers motivated to build a race circuit on time.
"Because I dropped out, they were motivated, 'oh, we have to show Bro Giring that we can'", he continued.
After all, Giring assesses that Formula E which was held on Saturday, June 4, has not been declared a success.
According to him, the crowds of spectators, and the presence of high-ranking state officials and political figures who came to watch the live race could not be used as a benchmark that the committee and organizers succeeded in holding Formula E. "How did you see it from where? success", he said.
According to Giring, Formula E can be said to be successful if DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan and his staff can prove that this racing event can gain profits for the regional treasury and improve the community's economy.

Because of that, Giring emphasized that from the beginning the PSI faction of the DKI DPRD had urged transparency in the use of the budget and the potential for economic benefits to be received from the electric car racing event.
"We have to ask, how much is the profit? How much is the account that goes into it? Then, how much does the budget cost? Profit or loss. If you make a profit, what is the money used for? So if you lose, who will bear it? who bears the public's tax money", he added.
