Positions are always he held also quite strategic, as Vice Chairman of the Parliament.Has He desire to be the number one in his native land, in this case the post of Governor of Jakarta? "Nah, I kepengen baseball," he said when met at his office in the City Council building, Wednesday (11/03/2015).

Although the economy has an established level, Lulung pleaded not have enough funds to go forward as a candidate for governor. He called the minimum funding required to progress to the city elections is around Rp 200 billion. With these funds, said Lulung, not necessarily a candidate will be able to win the battle.

Lulung said funds should be prepared to win elections the city is around Rp 500 billion. Thus, he said, a candidate for governor should seek sponsorship support.
"At least Gopek (Rp 500 billion) was the one can only win. Must have a sponsor. No one wants to sponsorship me," he said with a laugh.
