We will help them (investors) as long as they meet these things. We will also provide ease of regulation and bureaucracy for entrepreneurs is also heeding the government’s priorities. In addition, we also ask them to remain in compliance with regulatory guidelines that exist and still pay taxes, “said JK.
He confirmed that the government would act decisively to investors who do not meet the direction of the government.” Discipline is also important, because of the discipline, all matters will go more smoothly. For example, we will take firm action against the mining company which is slow in making the smelter. The choice is two, take it or leave it. Respect regulations in Indonesia, “he said. JK hope between government and private sector there should be a common understanding to create a win-win solution.” The important thing we can work simultaneously, open to one another, and do effective work, “he added.
