JAKARTA - A number of masses who are members of the Indonesian Poor People's Union (SRMI) held a demonstration against the Omnibus Law on the Job Creation Act.

At the Silang Merdeka Barat Daya National Monument area, Central Jakarta, participants in the SMRI demonstration began to give speeches. One of the orators gave a speech in the command car. The orator stated that the Job Creation Law would harm workers from various sectors.

"This is an invisible law, passed without the public's knowledge. How will the fate of farmers and workers be? The government should not be in a hurry. That is currently a pandemic," exclaimed the orator at the location, Friday, October 16.

Based on the monitoring of the VOI team at the location, the SRMI crowd created demonstrations in various costumes. For example, there was a crowd wearing Guy Fawkes masks in the film V for Vendetta, dressed in the style of a shaman until Mak Lampir.

The "dukun" dressed all in black draped the words "shaman from Banten", "shaman from Banyuwangi", "Gunung Kawi shaman", to "Gunung Kidul shaman".

Four demonstrators also picked up a coffin which was covered by a white cloth. On the porch, it was written "RIP for Indonesian democracy. Omnibus Law occult law".

In a separate place, namely in the area of the Arjuna Wiwaha Horse Statue, the masses from the Indonesian Student Executive Board (BEM SI) also gathered to deliver a speech rejecting the Job Creation Law.

The police apparatus also alerted thousands of personnel to secure the demonstration in the National Monument area. The tens of thousands of joint personnel consisted of the TNI, Polri, and local government officials.

"More than 8,000 joint personnel from the Indonesian National Police and the Regional Government, as well as 10 thousand reserves are standing by at Polda," said Head of Public Relations at Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Yusri Yunus.
