However, the nomination of Jokowi tinged with racial issues issued by Rhoma Irama in his lecture at the mosque Al'Isra Tanjung Duren , West Jakarta . On that occasion , Rhoma Irama urged residents to choose which faith leaders , and he mentioned that Mother Jokowi is a non - Muslim . This statement loud protests from the public to Establishments Supervisory Committee will check that Rhoma Irama on suspicion of spreading racial issues .

In the field of education , Jokowi Jakarta Smart Card launched since the beginning of his term , December 1, 2012 to be exact .
