Jakarta – Jakarta Governor Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama said at City Hall on Friday that he did not mind outsiders moving to Jakarta, as long as they were rich or wanted to become domestic workers.

Commenting on the expected influx of people after the Idul Fitri festivity, Ahok said that he would not allow people without skills or money to move to the capital city.

"If you come as a tourist or to buy apartments and houses, I will be more than happy to welcome you," he said, adding that he would grant such newcomers Jakarta ID cards.

By becoming Jakarta residents, Ahok said, such people would contribute income tax to the city's coffers.

He said that he would also permit domestic workers to move to Jakarta, in light of a shortage of maids, drivers and nannies. "I believe the market is huge, so they will not be jobless," he said.
