The series of rejections of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu) Number 2 of 2022 concerning the Job Creation Law (Perppu Cipta Kerja) is still rolling.

Not only from among workers, the Job Creation Perppu also received strong rejection from other civil society. Therefore, demonstrations have often occurred recently.

Responding to this, Chairman of Commission V DPR RI Lasarus said that not all articles and verses were problematic, so the public was asked to be patient waiting for the results in the future.

"Actually, if you want to play withdraw, right, not all articles and verses are wrong. We'll see first what the urgency is, which article," Lasarus told reporters at the DPR Building, Jakarta, Tuesday, January 17.

According to him, the public cannot call all the authority in the Job Creation Perppu to be completely wrong, so careful consideration is needed to make it a law.

"Those who want to be revoked, (the articles and verses), right, must be measured, so the law is not immediately revoked. 'Where do you want to revoke it?' So, if I look at it more objectively, yes. Right, all the articles are not problematic," said Lasarus.

Lasarus assessed that there were a number of good articles that referred to the previous law, and were even improvements to existing regulations.

"The problem must be thrown away. The legal state is more measurable," he said.

According to him, if later the Job Creation Perppu has been approved by the DPR, and in fact there are people who have not received it, his party invites them to file a lawsuit.

"If there is an article that is not suitable, right, you can have a judicial review. Right, it can be sued through the existing mechanism, that there is an urgent vote asking to be revoked, we accept, what is not suitable, the rights of the community, really," he said.
