Foke: Jakarta Masih Memerlukan Kumis

Oleh: Wahyu Praditya Purnomometropolitan - Jumat, 25 Mei 2012 | 14:30 WIB

INILAH.COM, Jakarta - Sebutan Bang Kumis cukup melekat dalam diri FauziBowo saat kampanye Pemilukada 2007 lalu. Bahkan pada Pemilukada DKIJakarta 2012 ini, nama Bang Kumis kembali disebut. Namun nama Kumiskini diplesetkan lawan politik Fauzi Bowo menjadi kumuh dan miskin.

Menanggapi plesetan yang diutarakan lawan politiknya tersebut, pria yang akrab disapa Foke itu menanggapinya dengan tenang. Bahkan dengan percaya diri (PD), dirinya menegaskan, sampai saat ini, Ibukota Jakarta masih memerlukan kumis. "Saat ini Jakarta masih memerlukan kumis," kata Foke sambil menunjuk kumis yang menjadi ciri kas dirinya.

Menurutnya, kumis sebagai simbol penting dalam peningkatan kesejahteraan rakyat Jakarta. "Kumis itu bukan hanya singkatan kumuh dan miskin saja. Nih saya tegasin, urusan kumis bisa digunakan sebagai pembasmi kekumuhan dan kemiskinan hidup. Dengan ciri khas kumis ini, kita akan basmi kekumuhan dan kemiskinan hidup di Jakarta," tegasnya.

Foke: Jakarta Jangan Mau Dikotak-kotakkanPenulis : Bima Setiyadi | Kamis, 30 Agustus 2012 | 14:37 WIB

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — Jelang Pemilihan Kepala Daerah DKI Jakarta pada 20 September mendatang, Gubernur DKI Jakarta Fauzi Bowo mengatakan agar kebersamaan dan persatuan warga Jakarta harus tetap dijaga untuk menciptakan kerukunan antarwarga.Hal tersebut disampaikan Foke—sapaan akrab Fauzi Bowo—di sela-sela pidato sambutan acara Lebaran Ketupat di halaman kantor Wali Kota Jakarta Barat, Kamis (30/8/2012) pagi. "Warga Jakarta jangan mau dipecah-pecahkan agar kerukunan warga tetap terjaga," kata Foke, Kamis.Dia mengatakan, kata-kata tersebut dikutip dari perkataan Hidayat Nur Wahid bahwa warga Jakarta jangan mau dikotak-kotakkan. Maksudnya, hidup dalam daerah yang masyarakatnya heterogen tentunya banyak perbedaan, dan jangan sampai perbedaan memecahbelahkan atau mengelompok-ngelompokkan masyarakat yang ada.Dalam pidato tersebut, Foke juga berharap mudah-mudahan acara tradisi Lebaran Ketupat dapat berjalan terus-menerus. Ini adalah bentuk silaturahim, modal untuk menjaga kebersamaan dan persatuan agar kerukunan bermasyarakat tetap terjaga, serta semoga Jakarta lebih maju dan sejahtera.Menurut Foke, selama dia menjabat lima tahun menjadi Gubernur DKI Jakarta, tidak ada warga yang tidak bisa beribadah. Semua warga Jakarta boleh melakukan ibadah di mana pun, tidak seperti halnya kasus yang terjadi di luar daerah yang terjadi konflik. Editor : Hertanto Soebijoto
