Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Board of Trustees of the Indonesian Shopping Center Management Association (APPBI) Handaka Santosa said it was quite surprised by the decision of the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta to remove the ’emergency brake’ to implement full-scale social restrictions (PSBB) .
According to Handaka, there has been no prior notification. However, he also tolerated the decision. However, they expect there to be a change in the policy 3 days before the PSBB goes into effect.
“We know that the governor’s regulation is the governor’s right to issue. However, currently it has not been spoken to entrepreneurs in the retail and shopping center sectors through associations,” Handaka said. CNBC Indonesia, Thursday (10/9/2020).
According to him, if you look at the reality of the Covid-19 case that is increasing, the provincial government of DKI should limit community activities.
For entrepreneurs, this policy is very harsh, but it must be accepted and supported because the threshold for the spread of the Covid 19 virus is increasing.
He asked the governor to also examine the current conditions of retail businesses and shopping centers that are so disciplined in implementing the Covid-19 protocol. Also, recently the economy in Jakarta has started to get excited despite the current restrictions.
“If you look at it, they have implemented it correctly and the route has been arranged so that what has to be found is what is actually causing the growth of the spread of Covid-19, perhaps in public or public places,” he said.
The entrepreneurs still hope that Anies can reconsider his decision.
“The governor should consider this matter carefully before signing the Pergub,” Handaka said.
He also said the decision could also have an impact on Jakarta’s economy. As well as the potential for contraction and recession.
“We have to know that this economy is supported by retail and retail trade. Many employers have already laid off and of course they are ready to go back to work when they are normal. If it is wrong, I am sure there will be a lot of layoffs.” , said.
Expect at least one addition of the 11 sectors that are excluded from operating despite the PSBB being applied.
