JAKARTA - West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil believes Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution can bring change to the city he leads. However, he reminded that there is a process that must be done before.
This was conveyed by the former Mayor of Bandung when he met Bobby Nasution on Wednesday, February 1 yesterday. Ridwan is optimistic that by involving young people, Bobby can change the city of Medan even though everything must be done gradually.
"Building a city is gradual. Don't assume that it has been transformed into five years, no," said Ridwan during the visit.
On that occasion, Ridwan was also invited by Bobby to tour Medan City using a domestically made electric motorbike. He appreciated this because this is in line with the government's program to take advantage of renewable energy.
Furthermore, Ridwan said he fully supports efforts to migrate from oil-fueled vehicles to electricity as the Head of the Association for Renewable Oil and Gas and Energy Resulting (ADPMET). In fact, he became one of the regional heads who had already set an example.
"I am the governor whose official car is already an electric car," said Ridwan.
Ridwan also mentioned that campaigns to use renewable energy, such as electric vehicles, are always carried out every time they travel to other provinces.
By using electric vehicles, for example, people can be up to 30 percent more efficient than vehicles with fuel oil.
In addition, the more electric vehicles, the greater the chance of suppressing air pollution. Thus, Ridwan hopes that the people of Medan will be interested in migrating.
"I pray that Medan residents turn to electric motorbikes," he concluded.
