Anies Baswedan’s name has often been mentioned and praised by regional heads in Indonesia, even from abroad for his ideas, initiatives, and smart solutions to solve various problems in the metropolitan city of 11 million people.
Yesterday it went viral when a netizen shared a news link on a national portal entitled ‘Edy’s joke Needs Help to Build North Sumatra: I Borrowed Anies First’.
The public knows that Gybernur Edy has a North Sumatran style of communication, who is friendly and frank, of course he understands that he is joking. However, in substance, Edy Rahmayadi is not wrong.
JAKARTA | KBA – The innovation and success of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan in building the city of Jakarta seems to be widely recognized by the Indonesian people.
The name Anies Baswedan has often been mentioned and praised by regional heads in Indonesia, even regional heads abroad for his success in building the capital city.
As happened yesterday, Monday, January 10, 2022 in Medan City, North Sumatra. Anies’ name was also mentioned during the inauguration of the Board of the Indonesian Private Higher Education Association (Aptisi) Region I North Sumatra.
In the inauguration ceremony, initially, the Governor of North Sumatra, Edy Rahmayadi, asked residents to help develop the North Sumatra region.
“What should we do, we are all given by God. There is the sea, there are mountains,” said Edy at the North Sumatra Governor’s official residence during the event.
He admitted that it was appropriate to discuss the development issue with the APTISI management. According to Edy, it is impossible to talk about the development of North Sumatra with Singaporeans.
“With who else to talk about this? Is the person from Singapore to lead North Sumatra. Or we will choose from the regions first to lead, when it is finished, we will return it to us,” he said.
Then, Edy said it was impossible to ask DKI Governor Anies Baswedan for help to build North Sumatra.
“I don’t need to talk abroad. I borrowed it from Jakarta first, Anies. You lead first, when it’s done, you return it to me. But it’s not like that,” said Edy.
Edy also discussed the problem of handling population growth in North Sumatra.
“With this meeting, it is hoped that good communication can be established, and can resolve this problem. Because our population growth is very rapid and this is also a demographic bonus that we must manage,” he said.
Edy said the thing that must be prepared to build North Sumatra is quality human resources. For this reason, he invited Aptis to work together to prepare quality human resources.
“What we have to prepare for North Sumatra is ready-to-use human resources. But we also have to think about their platform after graduation, and we have to build that foundation from now on,” concluded Edy Rahmayadi.
The hashtag #AniesHarusPresiden2024 has been the top trending topic on Twitter since Monday, January 10, 2022 morning. According to KBA News monitoring at 23.45 WIB, the hashtag was written by 8,702 netizens.
This hashtag appears at the same time as netizens’ hopes that the future Indonesia will be led by young figures with integrity, intelligence and side with the interests of the small people. They also mentioned the skyrocketing prices of basic necessities over the past few weeks.
“It’s natural that all prices go up every few years. But what’s not fair is that there is no price increase in employment? It’s true that people who work not as ASN can die every month, even though they don’t work. Listen to your mother’s voice. Does it have to be that Mr. #AniesHarusPresiden2024 has just changed the situation?” tweeted @NayoanAngelyca.
Governor Anies Baswedan’s various achievements and achievements during his four years in charge of DKI Jakarta have also become a topic of conversation among netizens with the hashtag #AniesHarusPresiden2024.

There were also netizens who discussed the latest data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) regarding the DKI Jakarta Human Development Index (HDI) which was the highest in Indonesia after breaking 81.11 in 2021.
With this number, Jakarta is on par with developed cities in the world.
“GUS CHOI NEEDS TO SAY THAT GOVERNOR ANIES IS THE PRESIDENT LEVEL!
“DKI Jakarta’s Human Development Index Reaches 81.77 in 2021, Comparable to Developed Countries” If Anies became president, imagine how great Indonesia would be. #AniesHarusPresiden2024,” wrote the account @WongIndonesia12.
