 (Descourse study)

Written by: Gina

These seven articles were taken from Suara Merdeka and The Jakarta Post newspaper, published between  October 2012 to march 2013 . The five articles are  (1).”Inaugural Jokowi-colored Student Demo”, (2) “Jokowi to lead tycoon into slum”, (3)”Jokowi the forthcoming president?”,(4) “Jokowi calls on residents to control waste”,   (5) “Greater Jakarta: Jokowi to relocate 500 squatter families”, (6) “Jokowi, Minister to build low-cost apartmens for workers”, and “Vacancies will not effect MRT construction”Jokowi”

The main character is Joko Widodo or his popular name is Jokowi . He is a governor of Jakarta. He leads Jakarta  for 5 years from 2012 to 2017. That is Jokowis’ duty. He  is helped by a vice governor-Basuki Cahya Purnama.

(Article 1), Jokowi become as governor and  Basuki Cahyo Purnama as a vice governor. They both Jokowi-Ahok was elected to lead Jakarta on Monday, 15 October 2012. It was  inaugurates, students demo  During Jokowi-Ahok innaguration. They demand to Jokowi-Ahok  to commit  leading Jakarta for 5 years and  don’t doing corruption and enrich himself and ask for showing their promising during general election campaign 2012.

(Article 2). Jokowi, Like  people say a typical leader has a great concern how to build Jakarta into better place, not only for the Jakarta resident but also a miniature of Indonesia. His concern some basic aspect of life. To improve Jakarta and its aspect of life , He ask Jakarta’s tycoon to help the government to give better condition of the slum. Jokowi ask them to step and from their golden  congress to see what was really going on. River’s bank is occupied by squatter, serious socioeconomic disparity is the city’s problem are too complicated and jus educated and health to improve  of the human resources.

(Article 3), In the middle Jokowi’s activity, appear issues that Jokowi has skyrocketed in the discourse of Indonesia’s presidential hopefuls and some of surveys put him on the top position. Is short time more and more people not  only come from home but also from broad  and intellectual forum put out Jokowi is Indonesia’s next president. Yasmi Andriansyah( is a columnist ) has her own opinion with some reasons she suggested that it will be better for Jokowi to focus his current duty a governor of DKI than to run in the forthcoming 2014 election. Another side  theirs is not eligible political machinery that could nominate  Jokowi be  Indoneisa’s next president.

(Article 4), To build Jakarta into nice place to life, Jokowi ask his resident to control waste. It’s possible  managing waste just really on government. He persuade to the resident to hand –in hand to solve the  waste problem, handling garbage with the city administration. Jakowi said that Jakarta have to start stopping littering, separating household waste and recycling more.

(Article 5),In fifth article said that  housing, sport, environment  are also become his concern. The realize these, Jokowi  has planned to locate 500 squatter families to the news place or vicinity. While the former area will be built an international stadium, city forest, open green space, parking area, water sport area, soccer field. An athletics track.

(Article 6), Housing for workers and  the poor society and  The low-cost apartment is very important for poor and near poor society or workers. Jokowi  and Public Housing Minister Djan Faridzhas have  agreed to build low-cost apartments for workers in the capital. The plan was part of the central government’s program to provide affordable housings for workers, which will be located relatively close to their workplace ,

(Article 7), Another concern by Jokowi  is  Public transportation.  He guaranteed the construction of the capital’s most anticipated publick transportation in Jakarta. Project MRT( Mass Rapid  Transit) bill be stated soon .  Jokowi said that this massive project is going to begin operation in 2016. This will be important to addressing the cities’ traffic problem in Jakarta.

Here so far,  for the  7 articles, Will Jokowi continue as gobernor DKI for  5 years a head?. What if he ten, run a competition in the forthcoming 2014 election?.Does Jokowi have power  enough to handle Jakarta which have complicated problem and  plurality life style

Personally, as perhaps most of Indonesia, I like Jokowi, I think He is the one who has good personality. He is not greedy. It can be proved during his duty in his period as  governor. He also go down-earth as his hobbies( that is blusukan ) for knowing the real life of down-society’ Now days, if he become popular term,  indicate that he is not an exclusive  bearenst. He is  close to the pupils, trying to know their problem an the impact thing is to find oud the solution.

The conclusion that it is not easy for me, whether it will be good or bad when he become of  the candidate  to be the next president. As a president or not, Jokowi has given a hope for Indonesian. He has given small light in the dark destructive situation. Finally, I hope God will lead him to be useful leader in the country.
