SELAMAT ULANG TAHUN
June 22, 2016, marks the 489th anniversary of
Indonesia’s capital city. The governor of Jakarta and
two Jakarta denizens extend their best wishes.
“Happy birthday, Jakarta!
Stay stylish! I hope to see even
more fashion events to show
the world that Jakarta, and
Indonesia, is a leader in global
fashion. The fashion of this
great city helps to reflect its
growing modernity and
heritage at the same time.”
Basuki Tjahaja Purnama
Governor of Jakarta
“I hope for Jakarta to become
a more pedestrian-friendly city
so people can walk around on
Sudirman like they can on
Orchard Road in Singapore.
Along the well-lit walkways there
will be orderly street food stalls
with proper permits to certify
that they are clean and safe as
well as delicious. With time,
great commitment, hard work
and the support of various
parties, this and so much more
can be achieved for our city to
have a brighter future.
“Saya ingin orang-orang
bisa berjalan kaki di Sudirman
seperti di Orchard Road,
Singapura. Nanti di tengah
trotoar ada tempat untuk PKL
(Pedagang Kaki Lima) berjualan
yang terjamin kebersihan dan
keamanannya, selain tentunya
juga enak. Memang dibutuhkan
waktu, komitmen tinggi, kerja
keras, dan dukungan banyak
pihak untuk menjadikan
Jakarta yang lebih baik.
Happy birthday, Jakarta!
Semoga Jakarta menjadi
lebih baik.”
Here’s to a better Jakarta!”
Selamat ulang tahun Jakarta!
“Selamat ulang tahun
Jakarta! Tetap gaya! Semoga
semakin banyak ajang mode
digelar, sehingga Jakarta dan
Indonesia bisa menjadi kiblat
mode dunia. Karena mode di
kota yang maju ini merupakan
cermin dari modernitas
dan juga budaya Jakarta.”
Samuel Wongso
Celebrity Suit Designer
Addie MS

“I am optimistic about
Jakarta’s development, looking
at the progress of transportation
projects, improvements to public
spaces, street and river cleaning
projects, gentrification of
neglected districts and more.
I hope a grand concert hall will be
built in central Jakarta or nearby.”
“Saya sangat optimis dengan
penataan Jakarta sekarang,
setelah melihat pembangunan
transportasi massal, ruang publik
terpadu ramah anak, kebersihan
jalan dan sungai, dan penanganan
pemukiman kumuh. Semoga
Jakarta membangun concert hall
di pusat kota, atau sekitarnya.”
