OMNIBUS BILL ON JOB CREATION PASSED INTO LAW DESPITE OPPOSITION
The government and the House of Representatives passed on Monday the controversial omnibus
bill on job creation into law, sooner than its initial plan of Thursday, despite mounting opposition
to the bill over its feared impact on the environment and labor rights.

The final draft of the bill, a copy of which was obtained by The Jakarta Post , is 905 pages long
and contains 185 articles in 15 chapters. The law aims to improve bureaucratic efficiency and
cut red tape, particularly in regard to business permits and investment.

In a plenary session on Monday, led by Deputy House Speaker Azis Syamsuddin of the Golkar
Party, House Legislation Body (Baleg) chairman Supratman Andi Agtas said that the deliberation
of the bill had taken place from April 20 to Oct. 3, adding that lawmakers and the government
had been holding meetings, even on weekends, to expedite the deliberation.
