West Java (Jabar) Governor Dedi Mulyadi implemented Operation West Java Manunggal to overcome potential disruption to the investment climate in the local area by community organizations (ormas).

"We read the phenomenon of unscrupulous mass organizations disturbing investment. We are preparing financing to protect entrepreneurs, to prepare security costs in the term West Java Operation Manunggal," he said at the Presidential Palace complex, Jakarta, Thursday, February 20, which was confiscated by Antara.

He said the policy paid special attention to the investment climate in West Java, in particular to overcome disturbances from mass organizations to entrepreneurs through illegal levies in the process of land acquisition, labor recruitment, and waste management.

"We encourage companies to be accompanied so as not to be disturbed by mass organizations, from land acquisition, asking for development rations, asking for rations when recruiting workers, asking for waste production rations during production. This is often a conflict in the West Java industrial area," he said.

Dedi hopes that the policy can be positively correlated with the increase in Regional Original Revenue (PAD) for West Java 2025 which is targeted to increase from IDR 19 trillion to IDR 21 trillion, with total regional expenditures reaching IDR 33 trillion.

Dedi ensured that the profit-sharing allocation fund for regencies/cities of IDR 6 trillion was fully allocated for road infrastructure development.

Dedi Mulyadi hopes that the people of West Java can feel direct benefits through improving the quality of education, health, infrastructure, and creating a conducive and safe investment climate.
