One of the leading and prestigious media in Indonesia, Gatra, is interested in inviting the number one person in the Malang City Government for a direct dialogue to explore in detail the various programs that have brought progress to the city which is also known as the City of Education.

Starting a visit to the Gatra Magazine office located at Jl. Kalibata Timur IV No. 15 South Jakarta, the group from the Public Relations Division of the Malang City Regional Secretariat led by the Head of Public Relations Division of the Malang City Regional Secretariat Muhammad Nur Widianto, S.Sos was received directly by the Gatra management team, Wednesday (21/9).

The presence of the leaders and staff of the Public Relations Division of the Malang City Government was a follow-up to the invitation conveyed by Gatra Magazine before the Mayor of Malang came directly to explain his flagship program.

Gatra Magazine Management Representative, Kristina Yulianti acknowledged that the achievements carved by Malang City in various matters cannot be separated from the role of the figure of the Mayor of Malang, H. Moch. Anton, who has many breakthrough programs.

The success of bringing back the Adipura Cup and receiving the Best City Level Park award in Indonesia as well as hundreds of other achievements down to the sub-district level prompted Gatra Magazine to directly invite the Mayor of Malang, who is familiarly called Abah Anton by his residents, to explain all of his programs.

"We have a special edition of the two years of the Jokowi-JK Government. Our intention is to invite the Mayor of Malang to tell in detail what supports the work of regional development and the central government, because we consider Malang City to be very successful in various ways," said Kristina.

In addition, Gatra Magazine also praised the success of Kampung Warna Warni in Jodipan Village which is now famous throughout the archipelago and even abroad and has succeeded in becoming a new tourist destination. "The Malang Design Festival launched by Malang City is also interesting to explore further," he said.

The Malang Design Festival itself is one of the flagship programs of the Malang City Government in 2016. The goal is to create thematic and creative villages in 57 sub-districts throughout Malang City so that it can later be narrowed down to the formation of Smart A village that has the potential to boost the economic power of the community.

Another breakthrough that is no less important and received full appreciation from Gatra Magazine is the success of the Malang City Government in carrying out development with funds. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) so as not to burden the APBD.

"We think that is a form of independence of a government that has succeeded in making a breakthrough in building a city without using APBD funds," he added.

The success of the Mayor of Malang in attracting companies to spend their CSR funds is proven by the construction of several parks, such as Taman Kunang-kunang, Taman Slamet, Taman Cerdas Trunojoyo, even Kampung Warna Warni and currently the widening of the pedestrian road on Jl. Ijen also uses CSR funds.

Head of Public Relations of the Malang City Regional Secretariat, Muhammad Nur Widianto, greatly appreciated the invitation from Gatra Magazine addressed to the Mayor of Malang.

"This is a form of appreciation from various parties for the achievements made by the Malang City Government under the leadership of Abah Anton," said Nurwidianto.

Abah Anton himself, on Thursday (22/9) tomorrow is scheduled to visit Gatra Magazine to explain various things about the flagship program, including the success of the development of Kampung Warna Warni and also various other achievements. (say/yon)
