Jakarta Governor Candidates: Sarwono Kusumaatmadja (3)
Senior politician Sarwono Kusumaatmadja might be the oldest candidate to run in next year's Jakarta governor election. But he has immense of energy and lots of affections to be one of the strongest contenders.
Born in Jakarta, July 24, 1943, Sarwono graduated from the prestigious Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) in 1974. Served as minister for environmental affairs and state apparatus during Soeharto regime and maritime-fishery affairs minister during Abdurrahman Wahid's administration, Sarwono is known as Mr Clean and Mr Simple for his modest lifestyle.
He won one of five seats of Jakarta's representative at Regional Representative Council (DPD) in 2004 with second biggest voters (10%) behind businesswoman Mooryati Soedibyo. I will not do profiling on him or his views on things because you can easily access his personal web at www.sarwono.net.
He had registered as governor candidate under PDI-P banner along with noted economist Faisal Basri and forver VP candidate Agum Gumelar. Sarwono was once the secretary general of Golkar during Soeharto years.
Despite his 'bad habit' as heavy smoker (like me), Sarwono has close relationship with grassroot movements and the poorest in the city. Like Basri, he is a pluralist campaigner and has good relationship with non-Moslem society. Do you think Sarwono could win?
