REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, SURABAYA - The 25th Anniversary of Citynet gives a memorable impression to the host city, Surabaya, as the Citynet awards Surabaya as the best city in Asia Pacific. The Mayor of Surabaya, Tri Rismaharini, looked surprised to receive the award. 

She seemed did not believe that the Heroes City won the best city among the hundred cities joined in Citynet international organization. "I am surprised! But I would like to thanks to all of participants, especially member of Citynet. Thank you," said the first woman mayor in Surabaya on Wednesday.

The award accompanies the Adipura Cup, an award for the clean and green city in Indonesia. Besides Surabaya, Seoul (South Korea), Yokohama (Japan), and Makati (Phillipine) also win the award as the best city.

Established on July 27, 1987, Citynet is the regional network of local authorities for the management of human settlements. It is committed to helping local authorities improve the lives of its citizens and create the urban sustainability across Asia-Pacific and beyond.

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوْٓا اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَاۤءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًاۢ بَيْنَهُمْۗ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى لَّقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْۗ وَاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْرِثُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ لَفِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيْبٍ
Dan mereka (Ahli Kitab) tidak berpecah belah kecuali setelah datang kepada mereka ilmu (kebenaran yang disampaikan oleh para nabi) karena kedengkian antara sesama mereka. Jika tidaklah karena suatu ketetapan yang telah ada dahulunya dari Tuhanmu (untuk menangguhkan azab) sampai batas waktu yang ditentukan, pastilah hukuman bagi mereka telah dilaksanakan. Dan sesungguhnya orang-orang yang mewarisi Kitab (Taurat dan Injil) setelah mereka (pada zaman Muhammad), benar-benar berada dalam keraguan yang mendalam tentang Kitab (Al-Qur'an) itu.

(QS. Asy-Syura ayat 14)
