JAKARTA - The Governor of DKI Jakarta has changed the names of dozens of streets in the capital with the names of Betawi figures. Anies guarantees that this name change will not make it difficult for residents.

This is part of our effort to be able to jointly make this change not difficult, it makes it easier," said Anies at the inauguration of the determination of street names in Setu Babakan, South Jakarta, Monday, June 20.

"Behind the majesty of a city, there is a knot of unity and this knot cannot possibly grow if it is not facilitated by the Betawi people.
