Fiasco at Kampung Susun Bayam Makes Residents Miss the Humanist Governor

YOGYAKARTA – Something happened in Kampung Susun Bayam (KSB). Residents again faced intimidation from the authorities. This time, the residents of KSB were forcibly made to leave their homes.

Political TikToker Adi Marz expressed sadness over the incident that occurred on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. He immediately created a TikTok content with a video clip of the incident.

“I personally feel saddened and angry about what the residents of Kampung Susun Bayam are going through,” he said in his TikTok content.

When confirmed, Adi Marz stated that such incidents would not have occurred under Governor Anies Baswedan's administration. "Mr. Anies built without evicting," he said.

According to him, such incidents would not have happened if acting leader Pj Heru implemented a leadership model like Anies Baswedan's. On the other hand, this incident also makes the people of Jakarta more serious about wanting Anies Baswedan to lead Jakarta again.

“I believe that incidents like these make the people of Jakarta really want Anies to return as Governor of Jakarta,” he stated firmly.

The owner of the TikTok account @RakyatBesar believes that the wave of support for Anies to run again is getting bigger. "Support for Mr. Anies is like a snowball. The more it rolls, the bigger it gets," he expressed.

He hopes Anies Baswedan accepts the nomination from the political parties that want to support him. If Anies wins, Jakarta can return to its former greatness and respectability under Anies' leadership.

Muhammad Adi Alim is optimistic that if Anies returns as governor, Jakarta will advance further. His five years of leadership from 2017 to 2022 provide sufficient experience to make Jakarta even greater than before. "He already has the experience, knows what needs to be done," he revealed.
