JAKARTA – Experienced economist Rizal Ramli highlighted the maneuvers carried out by the Minister of Investment/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Bahlil Lahadalia related to his statement regarding the general election (election).

Rizal felt that Bahlil should not have commented on the five-year political celebration. Especially if there is an agenda to support the postponement of the election from the schedule that has been set in 2024.

"This is why the Head of BKPM takes care of the election," said Rizal Ramli via his personal Twitter page @RizalRamli, Monday, January 10.

According to Rizal, Bahlil only needs to focus on his work as a retainer to attract investment in Indonesia as mandated by President Joko Widodo.

"Just focus on investment, Bahlil," he said.

For information, Bahlil Lahadalia also enlivened the electoral world after making a statement from businessmen supporting the move to postpone the 2024 election. This was conveyed by Bahlil after the release of the Indonesian Political Indicators survey last weekend.

"In the business world, the average leadership shift, if there is room for consideration, is much better," said Bahlil Lahadalia on Sunday, December 9.
