jpnn.com, JAKARTA – Political Opinion Observer (IPO) Dedi Kurnia Syah reminded President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to immediately cancel the Omnibus Law on Cipta Kerja, which was passed by the DPR and the government.
According to Dedi, the Seventh President of the Republic of Indonesia should take this step to reduce the proliferation of demonstrations that are prone to groups that want to shake the government.
“If the president does not take the side of the people in general, it is very risky even for the presidential office. Do not allow the mass movement to become a stage for certain groups to remove Jokowi from the presidency,” Dedi told jpnn.com, Friday (9/10).
The Telkom University professor considered that the government and DPR did not have a feeling of crisis because it forced an agreement on the ratification of the Job Creation Bill (RUU) at a time when there were many rejections from various groups.
“From the beginning, the public seemed to reject the Ciptaker bill, and even postponed the discussion, but the government is impatient and this is a risk when the public is ignored,” he said.
According to Dedi, President Jokowi should have understood these conditions and not sparked a larger public movement. “The president should have learned from the ratification of the Corruption Eradication Commission Law that also claimed victims for public rejection,” Dedi said.
Dedi therefore regrets the decision of the DPR and the government regarding the Omnibus Law on Job Creation, which sparked massive demonstrations and vandalism everywhere. According to him, the vandalism was a reaction to an insensitive decision by the DPR and the government.
“Damage as a result of massive actions remains the responsibility of the president. Although very regrettable, public reactions have arisen because they were caused by policies that were deemed unpopular,” Dedi said.
Dedi also made two important points regarding the Omnibus Law on Job Creation. First, he said, the world is experiencing a Covid-19 pandemic, so the future direction and economic model are unknown.
Second, Dedi said, the discussion of the Omnibus Law on the Employment Creation Law had minimal public participation. As a result, the public interest has been neglected.
