JAKARTA - After completing the level I discussion at the Legislation Body (Baleg), now the Indonesian Parliament will pass the Omnibus Law Draft on Job Creation this afternoon, Monday, October 5.

This is known from the letter of invitation for the Plenary Meeting of the Closing Session Period I of the 2020-2021 Session Year.

"Level II discussion / decision making on the Job Creation Bill," reads the circulating letter.

When confirmed, members of the Working Committee (Panja) on the Work Creation Bill of the PDI-P Faction Hendrawan Supratikno confirmed the agenda.

"The plan is like that," said Hendrawan when contacted by reporters via text message, Monday, October 5.

However, a different statement came from the Deputy Chairman of the Legislation Body (Baleg) of the DPR RI Achmad Baidowi. Awiek, his nickname, said that the plan for the plenary session was still awaiting the decision of the meeting at the DPR RI Deliberative Council (Bamus).

"Waiting for the Bamus meeting, (the plenary session) depends on the Bamus decision," he said briefly.

In the letter, it is planned that the meeting will be held at 14.00 WIB and take place in the Plenary Meeting Room, Nusantara II Building of the DPR RI.

Previously, a number of parties regretted the smooth progress of this controversial bill during the discussion. As a result of the passing of this draft law at level I, workers who are members of the Joint People's Labor Movement (Gebrak) and other labor alliances will move to carry out demonstrations and national strikes from Tuesday, 6 October to Thursday, 8 October.

Even so, recently the police have not issued a permit for demonstrations against the Omnibus Law or the Work Creation Bill (RUU). The police cited the reason for preventing the spread of COVID-19.

"We did not give permission for the crowds to the demonstrators because of the COVID-19 situation," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Yusri Yunus to reporters, Monday, October 5.

Moreover, the data from the Task Force for the spread of COVID-19 in DKI Jakarta is already very massive. In addition, there is a policy from the DKI Provincial Government (Pemprov) regarding Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB).

"With the conditions of the Jakarta PSBB, so permission is not given to express opinions in public, especially in front of the DPR today," he said.
