Pandemic Covid-19 is believed to be m emukul economy of Indonesia. A number of parties also urged the House of Representatives to immediately ratify the Ciptaker Omnibus Law Bill which was expected to be able to facilitate investment in Indonesia. With the application of this regulation, the economic impact of Covid-19 can be minimized.
In the midst of a global epidemic the Covid-19 House of Representatives continued to work and compete for a number of agendas , including prioritizing discussions on work-related Omnibus law . It is inevitable that expectations for mera mpung k an Bill is increasingly apparent in conjunction with Corona pandemic that feels increasingly alarming.
Actually, issues related to labor, workers who fall into the category of employment have been widely discussed. Some i su that the government focus is unemployment and employment. The two Mega issues are considered very crucial and urgent.
Approximately 7 million people in Indonesia are declared unemployed or don’t get jobs. This is further complicated by the presence of 2 million new workers each year. While the availability of employment is still constrained by rules and bureaucracy. It’s no secret if the constitutional system in Indonesia is popular, tough and antique. So it requires a number of reshuffle. However, in the previous draft law the Omnibus Law was stated not all the rules would be changed. Only those who have a degree of urgency and really need improvement.
The 100-day prediction of the completion of the Omnibus work law bill is considered to be off the mark, following the global pandemic caused by this Corona virus . Therefore, many parties suggested that the DPR would continue to discuss the Law. In fact, the people’s representatives were given the option to use technological sophistication if face-to-face meeting was physically impossible.
However, the public patur appreciate after circulating his word if the House would be open hearings and to prioritize the Omnibus law. According to the report, the four Omnibus law bills mentioned will be the main focus of the DPR, including the State Capital, Pharmaceuticals, Employment Creation, as well as the Draft Law on Taxation Provisions and Facilities for Strengthening the Economy.
The House of Representatives is considered to be determined to hold a third session next week amid the appeal of social distancing that has echoed. However, the Parliament said it had prepared a safe distance keeping protocol during the hearing. One of them left one to two meeting chairs vacant and the hearing time would be speeded up.
This news provides fresh air for the country and also society. Breakthrough rules that will provide a lot of roads related to employment are immediately realized. Omnibus labor law has many advantages, such as guarantees of assistance for workers affected by termination of employment, employment as much as possible through the improvement of investment opportunities, some benefits to severance fees for retired workers.
Through the function of guaranteeing the assistance of workers who experience termination of employment, this is considered urgent. Because the Corona outbreak that has hit this forced some of these workers temporarily laid off. In fact, the economy must continue to spin. Well, this work copyright Omnibus has guaranteed products to provide assistance to them. Unfortunately, the plan is still constrained by a number of rules.
Licensing licenses that certainly make many parties difficult. The link is with various government policies for its citizens. If everyone is not quickly addressed, things would get Chaos alias tangled. Therefore, the steps taken by the DPR to hold hearings to discuss priority agenda need to be appreciated. Because, the faster it is completed, the faster it will provide solutions that are right on target.
Corona virus that causes the red zone in almost all of the world affects the clarity of the rules that will be enforced, including in Indonesia. In this case the policy of implementing social distancing to lockdown discourse. Moreover, the global pandemic that does not know when it ends is more or less contributing to economic chaos .
For ordinary people, economic chaos is more feared than the spread of disease that is currently being hit. However, that does not mean they are not afraid. Actually the risk of contracting also becomes a terrible scourge. But, what can I say, many Indonesian citizens depend on income from daily wages. If the government does not immediately issue Omnibus law this work will certainly make things even more tense. The hope for the future is that the realization of the Act of the universal sweep can be rushed, so that the fate of the people will not endlessly await clarity.
