62% Of Jakarta Civil Servants Are Obese, Pramono: Follow The Governor's Lifestyle

Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung urged civil servants (ASN) within the Jakarta Provincial Government to start adopting a healthy lifestyle, as he does daily. He made this statement in response to the finding that 62% of Jakarta civil servants are obese. "If you're obese, follow the governor, so you don't become obese," Pramono explained when met at Jakarta City Hall, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (July 23, 2025). Furthermore, Pramono admitted to remaining active despite his heavy workload. 

"The governor is a walker, a cyclist, living a healthy life, even though his workload is heavy," he explained. As previously reported, the Jakarta Special Region Provincial Government stated that the directive mandating exercise for civil servants every Friday has been outlined in a Governor's Instruction (Ingub). 

Deputy Governor Rano Karno made this statement in response to the report that 62% of Jakarta Provincial Government civil servants are obese. "Actually, the gubernatorial instruction is already in place. The governor's instruction is that every Friday exercise is held. But now I want to encourage it again," Rano said when met at the Pamentas Field in Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta, Saturday (7/19/2025). The Deputy Governor also admitted that he was grateful for the instruction from Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung requiring civil servants to use public transportation. This is because he himself has followed the directive and has made him move more. "To be honest, I'm moving, so I walk further. Imagine my house in Lebak Bulus, taking the bus from Lebak Bulus," he explained.
