hile a recent survey reveals public satisfaction with many of Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung’s programs, activist groups have pointed out several flaws in his policies during his first 100 days in office.

The public opinion poll from Indikator Politik Indonesia showed that Pramono’s approval rating stood at 60 percent since taking office in mid-February. Compared with the approval ratings of his counterparts across five other provinces in Java, Indikator placed Pramono in the second-lowest position.

The survey, released on May 28, also indicated that while around 70 percent of respondents were satisfied with six of Pramono’s surveyed programs, such as extending the operational hours of public libraries and holding job fairs, better policy communication is needed for Pramono’s office to inform more residents.

The pollster’s founder Burhanuddin Muhtadi said that only one third of residents were aware of Pramono’s programs, despite Jakartans’ high exposure to media.
