JAKARTA - Investment Minister/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Bahlil Lahadalia asked investors who invest in Indonesia to cooperate with regional entrepreneurs or local residents (warlok) in investment areas. According to him, this is so that they can share in the benefits and investments that come in.

"That's a very important condition if we provide incentives, we must collaborate with regional people. Because I don't want regional people to only become objects rather than the presence of an investment. I want regions to become subjects and objects of development in an economic context," he said in a virtual dialogue, in Jakarta, Wednesday, September 8th.

For example, said Bahlil, investors who invest in North Maluku, must be North Moluccans who do live in the area provided that they meet the criteria to be able to work professionally. No, the Moluccans in Jakarta played a role.

"This item must be a North Moluccan who is in North Maluku on a basis that meets the criteria, namely professional, experienced, then has a work ethic. So that they can maintain the quality, they are not proposal entrepreneurs because the success teams of regional heads A and B do not pay attention to the quality of their work," he said. .

Bahlil also emphasized that he would not tolerate foreign investors who did not meet the investment requirements. According to him, his party will only provide things that meet the law.

Furthermore, said Bahlil, he is consistent and will never take a step back to realize the hopes, aspirations of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and the Indonesian people. Moreover, with the inclusion of the implementation of the Job Creation Act with all permits at the Ministry of Investment through OSS and fiscal incentives. He said, this is the last goal to build a compromise, including the workforce.

"I will never tolerate making an understanding to investors to open up opportunities for unqualified foreign workers. We only provide things that meet the law. As with certain priorities in certain positions and others still prioritized for Indonesian citizens. Because one of the goals of investment is how to create jobs," he said.

With these requirements, Bahlil claims that currently, foreign and domestic investments are starting to balance. Where between large and small entrepreneurs also start collaborating with each other.

"Alhamdulillah, investment between foreign and domestic is balanced. The collaboration between MSME entrepreneurs, regions and investors, both domestic and large is happening," he said.
