YOGYAKARTA - A number of entrepreneurs registered with regional administrators in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) held an Extraordinary National Conference (Munaslub) on Saturday, September 13. The Munaslub agenda is to remove the Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry held by Arsjad Rasjid since 2021 and make Anindya Bakrie, the son of Aburizal Bakrie, his successor.

Arsjad Rasjid accused the Munaslub of contradicting the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's articles of Association and Bylaws (AD/ART). He said the munaslub held by a number of parties on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry was illegal. Arsjad also admitted that he was still the legitimate Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in accordance with applicable regulations.

Arsjad himself was elected by acclamation as Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the 2021-2026 term of service based on a joint decision at the VIII National Conference of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry dated June 30, 2021, in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi.

The dualism of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry that has recently occurred is not the first time this has happened. In 2013, the dualism of the management of the central Chamber of Commerce and Industry also appeared. At that time, Rizal Ramli formed a Kadin rival after he was elected as Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry at the National Leadership Meeting in Bali, September 28, 2013. Rizal Ramli then formed a new management of Kadin which was opposite the Kadin led by Suryo Bambang Sulisto. Dualime Kadin occurred after a long series of internal conflicts between fellow central administrators.

Launching Kontan news on October 21, 2013, this conflict reached its final point after Suryo Bambang Sulisto fired nine Heads of the Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Chairman of the Advisory Council Oesman Sapta Odang (OSO). Oesman Sapta Odang, who was disappointed because he was dismissed, then held a Rapimnas in Bali and determined Rizal Ramli as interim chairman. Meanwhile, Kadin led by Suryo Bambang Sulisto, claimed that he did not want to take any dizziness regarding the emergence of Kadindapang led by Rizal Ramli. He himself said that the entire Kadin member and administrator had agreed that there had never been a dualism of leadership within the organization.

"We consider that there is no dualism. Kadin is only one and it was formed through the Law (UU). So there can't be a match," explained Suryo.

Suryo explained that his party did not need to ask the government to recognize and ratify the current Kadin. The reason, he claims, the Kadin he leads is legal or legal.

"Our proof is that every event we have is a representative of the government present. This is because the government has been our partner all this time," he said.

Suryo said that in the past there had also been a conspiracy like this, but failed. Therefore, the current chaos will not be taken seriously by the Kadin management. Suryo also admitted that he was not worried that the current Kadin would be divided. Rosan Roeslani was elected Chairman of Kadin in the middle of the management dualime, Kadin held the VIII National Conference in Bandung, West Java in 2015. At that time, Rosan Roeslani was elected Chairman of Kadin and superior to his competitor, Rachmat Gobel.

After Rosaen Roeslani was elected, the internal conflict between the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry began to calm down. When elected, Rosaen also emphasized that her priority program was reconciliation with the administrators of the Kadin counter-led Rizal Ramli. However, not long after, Kadinkapang reappeared, led by businessman Eddy Ganefo, who is based in Menteng, Central Jakarta.

The version of the Kadin, Rosan Roeslani, has an office at the Kadin Tower, Kuningan. In fact, the Kadin rivals under Eddy Ganefo held the inauguration of the East Java Chamber of Commerce and Industry by choosing Ivy Juana as chairman.

The inauguration of Ivy Juana as Chair of the East Java Chamber of Commerce and Industry was held after the previous Chairman of the East Java Chamber of Commerce and Industry, La Nyalla Mataliti, stumbled on a case and became a suspect in the alleged corruption case of misappropriation of the East Java Chamber of Commerce and Industry grant funds from 2011 to 2014.

Such is the review of Arsjad Rasjid vs Anindya Bakrie and the history of Kadin dualism that has happened before. Visit VOI.id to get other interesting information.
