JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said that flooding is not the main problem in the capital city.

However, according to Anies, the problem of flooding in DKI Jakarta has become the main topic of discussion on social media.

“For example, flooding in social media is a problem, in fact from our RT there are 30 thousand, which are affected by flooding about 30, it’s not even one percent,” said Anies at the Kompas Gramedia Building, Gelora, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (5/10/2022).

Anies said, there is a big gap between people’s talk on social media and the needs of Jakarta residents.

“So in reality, as a problem, the proportion is small, but as a perception it is (big),” said Anies.

Anies added that the main problem in Jakarta is actually related to the cost of living.

“If you look at the existing 11 million population, 3.6 million families, the number one trust issue is the cost of living. The second is about health,” said Anies.

Then, the next important issue in DKI Jakarta is education and employment.
