Alleged Changes Made to Job Creation Law Draft

Within a day, two different drafts of the job creation law have circulated, leading many to suspect that changes were made to the bill despite it already having been approved by the House of Representatives.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – After it was approved to be passed into law at the House of Representatives’ plenary session, the job creation draft bill circulating among the public has seen several changes. If these changes were actually made subsequent to the House’s approval, the omnibus law would potentially be rendered legally flawed.

Since the job creation bill was passed at the House plenary session on 5 Oct, Kompas has received three drafts of the law up until Monday (12/10/2020).
