“My father and mother used to be destined here. Until now her son is governor, Mrs. Eha is still selling here,” said Ridwan Kamil explaining.
“What’s the recipe, ma’am?” asked President Jokowi.
“What is it? I don’t have a recipe,” said Mrs. Eha.
“Clean your heart, ma’am,” said Ridwan Kamil.
President Jokowi also provided social assistance to Mrs. Eha, which was also distributed to traders at Cihapit Market that morning. Mrs. Eha was also happy to meet President Jokowi.
“Like. (The assistance) is for charity only, many grandchildren, many great-grandchildren, share it,” he said.
Djulaeha, that’s Bu Eha’s full name, is now almost 93 years old and still manages her rice shop which has been established since 1947. At that time, her mother Bu Eha was the one who started the business.
“Before mah this is a field, it hasn’t become a market like it is now,” recalled Mrs. Eha when questioned separately.
On the corner of the wall of the rice stall is a photo of the first President of the Republic of Indonesia, Soekarno, and a number of newspaper clippings containing articles about the rice stall. It is known that Bu Eha’s shop is a stall that Bung Karno’s family frequents, whom he remembers as a national patriot.
“In the past, who defended the country? Mom mah know how to struggle,” he said.
