Sandiaga to provide entrepreneurship program for thugs
Jakarta Post - April 26, 2017
"I want them to participate in the OK OCE program. By joining this program, they can be recruited by credit card companies as debt collectors or security officers," Sandiaga said in Bumi Serpong Damai, South Tangerang, on Wednesday.
Sandiaga added that by giving the thugs entrepreneurship training, they could start doing positive things. OK OCE stands for One Kecamatan (district) One Center of Entrepreneurship.
Anies Baswedan, the governor elect, and Sandiaga introduced this program in their campaign as a promise to create 200,000 entrepreneurs in Jakarta. He added how he hoped security officers could act firmly toward thugs in Kalijodo, who illegally asked visitors to pay parking fees.
"Pak Ahok and Pak Djarot are in office for six more months. We have to support them. We don't want to see Kalijodo, which has been managed well, becomes disorganized again," he said, referring to Governor Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama and Djarot Saiful Hidayat's work in improving the area.
The Jakarta administration changed the notorious red-light district Kalijodo into an attractive park.
