Banjarbaru City
Public Donations Boost Development
THE people of Banjarbaru believe that good roads are the gates to prosperity, which is why following its autonomous status, the South Kalimantan city has been intensively engaged in road construction. Its first mayor, Rudy Resnawan, focused on the development of road infrastructure. Banjarbaru City split from Banjar Regency in 1999. Originally, the city was known as the Gunung Apam hilly zone, where mine workers took a rest after panning for diamonds.
Rudy's successor, Ruzaidin Noor, carried on the effort. He also built roads so that all areas were accessible. Shops and shophouses emerged in many corners of the city. Mayor Nadjmi Adhani, currently in office, does not want to be less than his two predecessors. Winning the simultaneous regional election in December last year, he utilized the momentum of the Syamsudin Noor Airport expansion to build new roads. "The mayor appeals to residents for voluntary work to help build new roads," said Regional Development Planning Agency chief Said Abdullah last April.
