KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. The biggest river of Jakarta could and should be as clean as Cheonggyecheon River in Seoul, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo said during a visit to South Korea. “The river that flows through the city of Seoul, Cheongyecheon River, is very clean - a good inspiration. If the Ciliwung [River] in Jakarta could be as clean as this, whoa… and I believe it could,” he said right after walking down to the Cheongyecheon on Tuesday. The President said the Cheonggyecheon, back in 2003, had been in a similar condition to the Ciliwung today. He praised then-Seoul Mayor Lee Myung-bak for his initiative to restore the river.
