              Narasumber

              positive - Ali Mazi (Southeast Sulawesi Governor) Regional administrations should not contradict
              orders from the central government


              positive - Anwar Abbas (MUI secretary-general) On that basis, the MUI believes that, in regard
              to halal certification, the government should position itself as an administrative institution, while
              the MUI is positioned as an internal body that has the authority to issue the halal fatwa on
              products



              Ringkasan

              The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) has called on the government to reassess the controversial
              omnibus bill on job creation, particularly with regard to provisions regulating halal certification
              and the employment of foreign workers.

              In a written statement issued last Friday, MUI secretary-general Anwar Abbas said the bill should
              aim to protect the economic interests of citizens by limiting the inclusion of foreign workers in
              the national workforce.

              The country has seen an influx of foreign workers hired in labor intensive companies while
              numerous Indonesians in various sectors have been laid off after many companies stopped
              operations in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the depressed global economy. One case
              in point is the decision of Southeast Sulawesi Governor Ali Mazi last month to allow some 500
              Chinese  workers  to  work  on  nickel  smelter  projects  in  the  province’s  Konawe  regency  after
              previously blocking their entry.



              ULEMA COUNCIL ASKS GOVERNMENT TO RECONSIDER JOB CREATION BILL

              omnibus bill on job creation, particularly with regard to provisions regulating halal certification
              and the employment of foreign workers.
