President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo announced on Monday that Indonesia’s new capital city would be located in Penajam Paser Utara and Kutai Kartanegara regencies, East Kalimantan.

The discourse to relocate the capital city has actually been a long-standing issue, even since the administration of president Sukarno (1957). At that time, Palangkaraya city in Central Kalimantan was chosen because of its location right in the middle of Indonesia.
