Ir. Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, M.M

Ir. Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, M.M. was born in Manggar, East Belitung, June 29, 1966; 52 years old. He is known as Ahok. He is the Governor of DKI Jakarta who served from November 19, 2014 to May 9, 2017. He is an Indonesian citizen of ethnic Chinese and the first Protestant Christian who became Governor of DKI Jakarta.

On November 14, 2014, he was officially announced to be the Jakarta Governor of successor Joko Widodo, through a special plenary meeting at the DKI Jakarta DPRD Building. He was officially appointed as Governor of DKI Jakarta by President Joko Widodo on November 19, 2014 at the State Palace, after previously serving as Acting Governor from October 16 to November 19, 2014.

Since DKI Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo took a sabbatical to become presidential candidate in the 2014 Indonesian Presidential Election, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama was appointed as Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta on June 1, 2014. After being elected in the 2014 Presidential Election, 16 October 2014 Joko Widodo officially resigned as Governor of DKI Jakarta. Automatically, Basuki becomes Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta. Basuki continued his position as Acting Governor of the DKI Jakarta with the support of Gerindra and PDIP, but after opposition to the Regional Election Bill he lost support from Gerindra. While PDIP support was obtained from Deputy Governor Djarot Saiful Hidayat. He then tried to advance again to become a Governor Candidate through an (independent) path, but then decided to use a stretcher from the party.

For improving performance and reducing Corruption, Ahok also then held an auction for sub-district heads, village heads and school principals whose targets were at least afraid that officials from the provincial government would play better with the budget and public services. Some of Ahok's efforts to overcome the flooding and at the same time regulate the tidiness of the City of Jakarta such as; by cleaning the times of garbage and moving the settlers of the Kali to several flats in Jakarta. Finally, relocating residents who occupy state land in Kali Jodoh in a high-rise house. He also managed to curb the Tanah Abang Market from street vendors who had previously jammed the road. He also tried to build a cancer hospital so that Indonesians would not go to Singapore if they had cancer. Unfortunately, the plan didn't work because there were many obstacles and also criticism from various parties.

On May 9, 2017, Basuki was sentenced to two years in prison by the North Jakarta District Court judges for blasphemy. In the prison, he also wrote a book called 'Ahok Policy' with the intention that all the policies he had taken and thought of when becoming a public official, could be valuable lessons for us to study and criticize together and could be understood. In prison, he also had to accept the harsh reality of having to part with his beloved wife Veronica Tan. On January 24, 2019, Basuki was released from prison.

Lat month I got a very beautiful passenger who came home from wandering in Malaysia. After I took and she got out of the car, I went home.

Along the way home I stopped briefly in a public toilet to pee. When I entered the car, I was surprised there was a wallet left in the back seat, the wallet had money, ATM, identity card, driver license, vehicle registration and other letters.

Because I was not in a hurry and I happened to be in the village I kept turning around the place, and when I arrived at the place, I was shocked and happy. The owner of the wallet hug me incessantly she thanked me.

After I gave the wallet, I immediately said goodbye to continue the trip, but the lady held me back. He gave me money while saying:

"Here is money for you as my thanks".

Me: "You don't need to give me money. I'm sincere."

She said: "It's okay to take it, I don't need the money! Instead of having to take care of these letters,"

she said while insulting and putting it in my shirt pocket.

Because he kept insisting, I'd received it.

When I was on the road, look. The money turned out to amount to 10,000,000 rupiahs.

I was touched and said to myself:

"Yes God, if only this IS a real story, I would definitely treat all those who read this story."
