JAKARTA - The Indonesian Olefin, Aromatic and Plastic Industry Association (Inaplas) hopes that the problem of leadership dualism in the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) will soon find a way out, so that this entrepreneurial organization can help the domestic upstream petrochemical sector which is experiencing difficult times.

"Kadin must help the industrial world which is not doing well due to global conditions," said Inaplas Secretary General Fajar Budiono, quoted from Antara, Wednesday, September 18.

Fajar said, by solving this problem, Kadin is expected to immediately take a position in the transition period of the new government, so that it can maintain a business climate that is in favor of the domestic industry.

According to him, the dualism of leadership in Kadin is an internal problem for the management in the organization, and has nothing to do with the upstream petrochemical industry. Fajar said that the industry, which is covered by his party, is facing the onslaught of imported products.

"The petrochemical industry is currently focusing on the invasion of imported products from raw materials to finished products," he said.

Previously, the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry held the 2024 National Conference. According to the provisions, the Munaslub can be held if there is a violation of the principles of the organization's AD/ART.

The 2024 National Conference of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry then appointed Anindya Bakrie as the new Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Arsjad Rasjid's party called the holding of the Munaslub invalid. Arsjad Rasjid has also written to President Jokowi regarding the Munaslub.

Arsjad Rasjid stated that the Munaslub who appointed Anindya Bakrie as chairman was invalid because he violated the rules and was rejected by 21 Provincial Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Management Board will impose sanctions on members of the board who violate the rules and articles of association.

Deputy Chairperson of the Legal and Human Rights Division of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Dhaniswara K Harjono at a press conference at the JS Luwansa Hotel, Jakarta, Tuesday, September 17, said that the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Management Board based on the authority had conducted investigations, examinations and assessments related to the holding of the Extraordinary National Conference (Munaslub) which took place in St Regis, Jakarta, Saturday, September 14, which was considered illegal.
