TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Former coordinating minister for economy and finance Kwik Kian Gie said he had designed an economic concept for Indonesia and had proposed it to Megawati Soekarnoputri and Joko `Jokowi` Widodo as Jakarta governor in 2012, but they did not respond.

“I have drafted a booklet from 2004, that’s my orientation because Megawati was a presidential candidate,’ said Kwik Kian Gie in a press conference at Prabowo’s residence, Jakarta, Monday, September 17.

The senior economist claimed he had written down his views on the economy issue in a small book in 2004 entitled Platform Presiden and expected the elected candidate would take a look at it. However, no candidate pair responded the book including Megawati Soekarnoputri-Hasyim Muzadi pair.

“No answer at all, no one care [about the book],” said Kwik Gian Gie, adding that he made a similar book about the economy in 2009, but without response. 

“Prabowo then invites me for a discussion. So it’s logical to talk with him first,” he said.

The Former Head of the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) in the era of Megawati Soekarnoputri mentioned that Prabowo has a huge interest regarding the economy issue because his notes were read and marked and he was also asked for a discussion.

Aside from that, Kwik Kian Gie explained he had talked and suggested Jokowi in light of Indonesia’s economic concept in 2012 when the latter became Jakarta Governor. “I told [Jokowi] that he was a governor and very famous, so please use the popularity for the party and the country, not only concern about the city’s problem but also the country’s,” he said.

Kwik Kian Gie claimed he had delivered his ideas related to the economic concept and the data in the form of hard and soft copy for Jokowi, but Jokowi did not respond at all.
