Government policymaking is going zany over again – only similar during the skillful ol’ days.
Before reformasi genuinely took concur - if it e'er did - at that topographic point seemed to hold upward a competitor alongside the ministries close which 1 could come upward up with the most zany as well as ridiculous sentiment - my favorites being:
1. The draft law on citizenship which would receive got required foreigners to pay a Rp500 1000000 ”bond” to conjoin an Indonesian women.
2. The draft law on manpower which would receive got required expats to receive got a TOEFL proficiency examination inward the Indonesian language.
3. The draft law on pornografi as well as ponoaksi which would receive got made sunbathing inward Bali illegal as well as fifty-fifty criminalized national clothes such equally the Javanese kebaya.
4. The draft law that would receive got banned the role of written English linguistic communication inward world places. All signs, advertising as well as store names were going to receive got to role Indonesian. Republic of Indonesia grammer also had to hold upward adopted rather than English linguistic communication grammar. This law, amazing enough, was genuinely passed as well as terms Lippo Bank a modest fortune equally the banking concern was obligated to rename itself Bank Lippo, thence requiring all its branch signs to hold upward changed!!
5. The draft law making it a criminal offence non to role the rupiah inward transactions inward Indonesia!!! (highly ironic given how many high-profile corrupt politicians receive got been busted with suitcases total of the United States of America dollars)
But history repeats itself, as well as now, nether the supposedly reform-minded Jokowi – although I receive got rigid doubts close that – Republic of Indonesia is entering a novel era of wacko policymaking, equally evident inward a string of mindboggling decisions, which includes break 2 inward a higher identify equally good equally the sentiment to ban airlines from selling airline tickets at airports (wtf?!!!!), the determination to impose luxury taxes on houses/apartments sold at only Rp2 billion or above, and, most worrying of all, the determination to prohibit mini markets as well as other modest shops from selling drinks with depression alcohol content i.e. to a greater extent than oft than non beer (mini markets are already banned from selling drinks with higher alcohol content).
Jokowi’s dislike of drug criminal offence is good known of course of written report – he of late hailed the executions of vi drug smugglers – but why wage a state of war on depression alcohol content drinks? Is it because bintang-heads are killing each other across Djakarta whilst shooting upward past times the side of stinky canals equally they endeavour to evade the cops? Nope. Or mayhap it’s because bintang-heads are dropping dead afterward consuming a few spectacles too many? Nah. True, a few drinkers mightiness receive got had a bad hangover but the torso count is all the same at zero.
So why? Because, equally nosotros are told past times the government minister who signed the rule (the merchandise minister, Rachmat Gobel), the rule volition ensure the “protection of morals as well as civilization inward society.”
HAHAHA!!! Where receive got nosotros heard that 1 before?!! No quest to advert the order hypocrisy of allowing minimarts to all the same sell cigarettes which kill to a greater extent than than 200,000 Indonesians annually. Or that the rule volition effect inward to a greater extent than deaths equally to a greater extent than Indonesian consumers buy illegally produced moonshine – which has been killing people.
Nope the agenda hither is entirely, erm, “social”, with the impetus behind the ban on the sale of depression alcohol content drinks at minimarts coming from a hardline anti-alcohol grouping called @AntiMiras_ID (anti-alcoholic drinks Indonesia).
This grouping – which is run past times Fahira Idris, the miss of the onetime economic science government minister Fahmi Idris - is backed past times Rachmat Gobel, as well as no it does NOT receive got a genius to seat 2 as well as 2 together to realize why at that topographic point is a state of war on alcohol but non a state of war on cigarettes (ironically, the government minister complained terminal twelvemonth about Australia’s determination to require cigarette producers to role champaign packaging to deter smoking equally it mightiness adversely impact Indonesian kretek sales – never heed the miserable smokers who teach cancer right?!)
And besides, isn’t the government minister overlooking 1 uncomplicated fact:
Note: Guinness didn’t select the wonderful cherry-red knobbed hornbill (indigenous to Sulawesi) equally the iconic toucan inward its vintage ads – although it mayhap should receive got given that Republic of Indonesia is (apparently) its 6th largest market!!!
