Folklore from East Kalimantan

O
nce upon a time in East
Kalimantan, there was a
kingdom in Muara Kaman.
The kingdom was led by
Queen Aji Bidara Putih. She was a very
beautiful queen. She was also wise,
kind, and loving to her people.
The queen was single. Many kings
and princes from other kingdoms have
tried to propose her. However, she was
still not interested in getting married.
She only wanted to take care of her
people.
Though the queen has rejected
proposal from many rich men, the
proposals kept on coming to
her. Many kings and
princes did not give
up. One of them
was a prince from
The soldier was finally able to enter
the ship. He was peeping from a hole.
He saw the prince was eating. The
soldier could not see the prince
clearly. The hole was too small. But he
could hear how the prince ate.
The prince was eating using chop-
sticks. He made strange sounds when
he was eating. The soldier was so
scared. He never heard that sound
before. He thought the prince was not
a real human. He thought the soldier
was a ghost!
When he arrived back at the palace,
the soldier immediately reported to the
queen. He told the queen
about the strange
sound.

ternyata enggak mesti identik dengan
lingkungan yang kotor dan kumuh. Buktinya,
penduduk di Kelurahan Menteng Dalam
Jakarta Selatan bisa menghijaukan halaman rumah
mereka yang sempit. Hasilnya, selain pemandangan
lebih sejuk dan udara jadi segar, upaya mereka telah
berkontribusi pada keberhasilan kota mereka meraih
Piala Adipura. Bukan cuma sekali lo. Tapi,
lima kali berturut-turut, hingga akhirnya
meraih Adipura Kencana.

Apa sih kriteria yang mesti dipenuhi suatu daerah
untuk bisa dapat Piala Adipura?
Ada penilaian fisik maupun nonfisik, yang jelas,
daerah itu harus bersih, sejuk, dan hijau.
Apa makna penghargaan Adipura ini buat
masyarakat?
Pertama, pengakuan secara nasional bahwa Jakarta
Selatan adalah kota yang bersih, hijau, dan teduh.
Selain itu, prestasi yang kita capai ini akan dilihat dunia
internasional. Ini jelas membanggakan.
Daerah mana saja di Jakarta Selatan yang tergolong
paling bersih?
