JAKARTA - A government regulation in lieu of the Job Creation law (Perppu) has been issued by President Joko Widodo. This Perppu has drawn polemics in a number of circles.

Professor of Law at Muhammadiyah University Surakarta, Professor Aidul Fitriciada Azhari, assessed that this Perppu actually saved the Constitutional Decree of the Constitutional Decree on Job Creation Law in Jakarta, as reported by Antara, Saturday, January 7. He explained that legal considerations of the Constitutional Court's decision 91/PUU-XVIII/2020 namely the court determining Law 11/2020, were declared conditionally unconstitutional. "Because the court must balance the requirements for the formation of a law that must be fulfilled as a formal requirement to obtain laws that meet the elements of legal certainty, benefit and justice," he said. Then, his Constitutional Court in addition must also consider the strategic objectives of the formation of such law. "I think (Perppu) saves the Job Creation Law because it has been mandated by the Constitutional Court decision, which is an improvement for 2 years to maintain strategic values, the strategic objectives of this Copyright Act," he said.
