JAKARTA - Member of Commission VI of the House of Representatives, Mufti Anam, highlighted the emergence of the phenomenon of rare buying groups (Rojali) and entourages only asking (Rohana) which has been busy lately. According to him, this phenomenon is proof that the community's economy is being disrupted.
"They are not playing games. They are surviving in the midst of the difficulty of life. If people start to flock to shopping centers just to take a look, it's a sign that the economy is not doing well," said Mufti Anam in a statement received by reporters, Thursday, July 31.
The terms Rojali and Rohana are considered to represent the unique behavior of shopping center visitors. literally, Rojali stands for a sparsely buying group, while Rohana is the shortest of the group Hanya.
Although it seems funny, the phenomenon of Rojali and Rohana is considered to reflect the trend of changing consumer behavior in the midst of economic challenges. Mufti also considered that the Rojali and Rohana phenomenon was a serious sign of the fragile economy and socio-cultural culture of the people in Indonesia.
"This phenomenon of Rojali and Rohana is the screams of the people who are squeezed by the economy," he said.
The irony, said Mufti, is that the government is actually diligent in issuing policies that are considered not pro-people. "Today's people don't hold money. But the government is actually like closing their eyes, and instead is busy preparing policies that are increasingly burdening the people," said Mufti.
"Starting from the influencer tax plan, online MSME taxes, to the latest, blocking accounts only because they are 3 months inactive," continued the legislator from the East Java II electoral district.

According to Mufti, these policies that are not pro-people actually strengthen the signal that the state is losing its direction in responding to people's economic unrest. Whereas the government should be present like people's business partners.
"If the people are not given room to grow, how will the economy move?" said Mufti.
