JAKARTA Member of Commission VII DPR RI, Tom Liwafa, expressed his pride in Garuda Indonesia's collaboration with local Intellectual Property (IP), Tahilalats.
This collaboration is realized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) and Garuda Indonesia, which allows local IP work of Tahilalats to decorate the fuselage of Garuda Indonesia.
Previously, Garuda Indonesia had collaborated with foreign IP, which sparked Tom Liwafa's attention during a meeting with the Minister of Tourism at Commission VII of the DPR RI in November 2024. He highlighted the importance of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) to support local works.
Garuda Indonesia as a BUMN should be an example in making future collaborative decisions. The form of love for the homeland is to continue to fight for tourist destinations and the Propertylocal Intellectics," said Tom Liwafa.
Tom Liwafa's critical statement at that time sparked debate in the community. Several influencers and social media activists gave negative comments on the proposal.
However, the criticism finally yielded positive results with the collaboration between the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy and Garuda Indonesia to promote local IPs.
"We believe that the President and Vice President have chosen the best ministers in the Red and White Cabinet. The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy proves that they are moving quickly and responsive to issues in society. Of course, we should appreciate this step," concluded Tom Liwafa.
