In 2012, Governor Fauzi Bowo Succeded ib building two flood canals and was about to build a third to alleviate heavy flooding. He even had to admit that it was a king-size job to free Jakarta from flooding.
In 2013, Joko Widodo should use the media to constantly educate his citizens. Garbage is piled high in the vicinity of any market in Jakarta. Garbage collectors are working their finger to the bone. Drainage canals are used as garbage dump by ignorant Jakarta citizens. Rivers are full of plastic garbage. If Jakarta citizens continue to be ignorant, they should not blame the city's authorities for their flooded city and flooded underpasses.
