JAKARTA - Executive Director Saiful Mujani Research and Consulting (SMRC) Sirojudin Abbas said that more than 50 percent of the public put hope and support the Government Regulation in Lieu of the Job Creation Act (Perppu). "Surprising it, despite the impression that Jokowi's opinion has drawn polemics, but instead it is inversely proportional to the survey results that more than 50 percent of the people put hope and support the Government Regulation in Lieu of the Job Creation (Ciptaker) Law," said Sirojudin in his statement in Jakarta, Friday, January 27. Sirojudin stated that there were about 22 percent of the public who knew that President Jokowi issued the Ciptaker Perppu. Of this number, 48 percent supported President Jokowi's decision. Meanwhile, constitutional law expert from UNS, Agus Riewanto, on a separate occasion stated that the Ciptaker Perppu, which was initially asked by the Constitutional Court to be corrected, was a manifestation of an omnibuslaw that many was adopted civil law states."Omnibus law (Ciptaker) This context is important for economic crisis. This law targets ease of doing business and attracting investment, "he said, quoted by Antara. According to Riewanto, the Ciptaker Perppu can be categorized as a temporary tool for President Jokowi to act on the country's economic situation. The Ciptaker is a regulation to constitutionally fortify the President that what he does in government work is correct, especially urgent economic issues, "explained Riewanto.

Moya Institute Executive Director Hery Sucipto in the closing session of the webinar conveying the problem of job creation requires serious attention because it involves public interests and interests that affect the economic sector. "There is a common interest in the Indonesian nation due to the pandemic that undermines the economic sector and affects in the future, for example the global recession," said Hery. Previously, at the end of 2022, President Joko Widodo announced the issuance of Perppu Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation (Ciptaker). Jokowi reasoned that the Ciptaker Perppu is really needed by Indonesia today to deal with the world economic situation that will be hit by a crisis. The issuance of the Ciptaker Perppu is quite surprising to the public because in 2020 the Constitutional Court has decided on a conditional unconstitutional Copyright Act so that it needs to be immediately improved within the next two years.
