JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, said that regarding the possibility of Indonesia facing another wave of COVID-19 in the future, he conveyed the need to improve the existing constitutional system.
"If we see, the variants of COVID-19 continue to mutate. We may face multiple waves in the future. Therefore, our system must be improved. I say that our state system, our state government must be revised nationally", said Luhut while attending the 43rd anniversary of the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) virtually, reported by Antara, Monday, August 23.
Luhut said this was because, in an emergency, it turned out that the existing system had not worked as it should.
"So, I am experiencing now, for example, how the line of command from the central government to the governor to regencies/cities needs to be improved here and there", said Luhut.
Luhut added that the economy showed a strong recovery until mid-2021 with the implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM), which were later relaxed slightly.
However, he warned that the public still had to be careful with the many face-to-face meetings, especially those who had not been vaccinated and were not wearing masks, because this, Luhut continued, would trigger the spread of COVID-19.

For this reason, the use of the SiLacak and PeduliLindungi applications is very important. With these two applications, Indonesia is facing a new era of life.
"Because we count until the end of the year, PeduliLindungi will enter more than 100 million people, and it will be better than e-ID Cards, which put several people in prison because of that", said Luhut.
He emphasized that in handling COVID-19, all stakeholders need to be united without feeling like an institution that is greater than the others because the current situation requires a collaborative role.
"No one is the greatest, what's great is the one who can work together in a team", he said.
