Omnibus Law, SOEs and the State

"What is an omnibus law, Fiq?" That was my question to a member of the House of Representatives for the 2014-2019 period, Teuku Taufiqulhadi.

I asked the question to him because he had cancelled a meeting with me earlier. He said, "Discussing the omnibus law in the land sector."

Since the formation of the Jokowi-Ma\'ruf Amin Cabinet of 2019-2024, Taufiqulhadi has been a special staff member for Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning Minister Sofyan Djalil. Taufiqulhadi responded to that in essence, the omnibus law was an effort to create a meungkléh (Acehnese: specific) legal system that applies only to certain regions with the aim of simplifying legal procedures to attract investment.
