Since they were elected last September, Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo a.k.a Jokowi and Vice Governor Basuki a.k.a Ahok have been the "darling" of the mass media. Almost everything they said and done have been reported to the public.
Although Jokowi-Ahok never set any target for their first 100th. day in offices, which happens to be today, but the news media seems to be very anxious to report about their progress.
According to news media reports, during the election campaign, Jokowi and Ahok have promised, among others :
1) Construction of mass transportation to reduce traffic jam : MRT and Monorail
2) Development of villages and slum area
3) Distribution of Health card and Smart card, e-ID card
What has been done was the distribution of Health, Smart and E-ID cards. The development of villages and slum area is still being planned, while the MRT and Monorail construction projects are being reviewed and discussed with the Jakarta People's Representative Council..
Their works was obstructed by the continuous heavy rainfall that has widely inundated Jakarta and vicinity last Thursday until Sunday.
In my opinion it is too early to assess the work of Jokowi-Ahok in just 100 days, considering that there are so many problems that must be solved in Jakarta.

Hi Harry, Do you think his 'honeymoon' period is over yet? For me I see a lot of promise and visibility but on the ground I am not sure I can actually see anything different through the city except it is getting cleaner in places
benar pak, kebanyakan dari kita hanya censerung mau instan tanpa mau partisifasi, maklum demokrasi kita masih seperti anak anak, yang hanya menuntut tapi peduli sikon.
Of course spectacular changes can not be expected yet - and not even for the next years. But it reads like a promising start actually.
@Luke,
I don't think the honeymoon between Jokowi and media is over, especially after the tragic flood.
Many people, including me, believe that Jokowi is only cleaning the bad things left by his predecessors.
@Wisata Murah,
Mudah2an akan timbul lagi banyak pemimpin2 baru yang baik dan benar.
@Colson,
Yes I agree that the start is promising.
It is the same everywhere, I guess. Politicians do their best to make changes and improvements, but everything takes time to accomplish success. Sometimes it takes longer than first thought.
@Daisy,
Yes you are right politicians are the same everywhere.
same there...same here in the states...
@Annmarie,
Yes, in other countries too I guess.
Iya, masih terlalu dini untuk menilai kinerja mereka berdua. Skrg org cenderung untuk mencari jeleknya saja
@Ria,
Politisi akan selalu mencari kesalahan dan kelemahan lawan-2nya.
Apalagi Jokowi-Ahok semula bukan orang Jakarta.
