The Mandalika Circuit is Spotlighted, Netizens Carry Formula E Jakarta
The Mandalika Circuit has also been in the spotlight amid the issue of the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ) development project in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, which is said to have left debt behind. Netizens on social media suddenly became involved with Formula E Jakarta.
One of the impacts of the issues currently hitting the Mandalika SEZ is a plan to abolish the World Superbike (WSBK) race at the Mandalika Circuit. This is done to improve the condition of the Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA).
Netizens who followed the development of this issue also voiced their opinions. Some feel sad, many are of the opinion that the Mandalika SEZ, including the existence of the Mandalika Circuit in the region, is a long-term investment.
"Facts... Formula E was successful and made big profits. Mandalika lost and left debt," said @ek *** oy2.
"I was so excited to build the Mandalika circuit, a statue of Mr. Jokowi riding a motorbike was made. As soon as Mandalika left debt & made a loss, everyone pretended to be stupid! 😅😅😅," said Netter.
"Who is Sing really? Mandalika is a long-term investment.. the tourism ecosystem, airports, roads, electricity networks etc. are built. The impact is on the people of NTB. What if the ONE formula races there. 2 years, it can't be a parameter," said @rdpr**etyo_a.
"How profitable is Formula E?" said @holder***mond_.
For information, Central Lombok Regent Lalu Pathul Bahri also spoke up. To detikTravel, he said he was disappointed with the statement by InJourney Main Director Dony Oskaria who called the World Superbike (WSBK) event at the Mandalika Circuit a loss.
"Hundreds of our ancestral graves have been moved from Mandalika for the sake of the construction of the Mandalika Circuit. We did it for President Joko Widodo's goals. Now we are told that this is a loss? This clearly discredits the Central Lombok Regional Government," said Pathul.
