Government policymaking is going zany in 1 trial again – simply similar during the skillful ol’ days.
Before reformasi truly took stand upward for - if it always did - at that topographic point seemed to hold upward a challenger amid the ministries near which 1 could come upward up amongst the most zany in addition to ridiculous persuasion - 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 accept a TOEFL proficiency exam inwards the Indonesian language.
3. The draft law on pornografi in addition to ponoaksi which would receive got made sunbathing inwards Bali illegal in addition to fifty-fifty criminalized national clothing such equally the Javanese kebaya.
4. The draft law that would receive got banned the role of written English linguistic communication inwards world places. All signs, advertising in addition to 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 truly passed in addition to toll Lippo Bank a modest fortune equally the banking concern was obligated to rename itself Bank Lippo, so requiring all its branch signs to hold upward changed!!
5. The draft law making it a criminal offence non to role the rupiah inwards transactions inwards Indonesia!!! (highly ironic given how many high-profile corrupt politicians receive got been busted amongst suitcases total of United States dollars)
But history repeats itself, in addition to now, nether the supposedly reform-minded Jokowi – although I receive got rigid doubts near that – Republic of Indonesia is entering a novel era of wacko policymaking, equally evident inwards a string of mindboggling decisions, which includes number 2 higher upward equally good equally the persuasion 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 in addition to other modest shops from selling drinks amongst depression alcohol content i.e. by in addition to large beer (mini markets are already banned from selling drinks amongst higher alcohol content).
Jokowi’s dislike of drug criminal offence is good known of course of teaching – he lately hailed the executions of half dozen 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 yesteryear the side of stinky canals equally they endeavor to evade the cops? Nope. Or maybe 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 yesteryear the government minister who signed the rule (the merchandise minister, Rachmat Gobel), the rule volition ensure the “protection of morals in addition to civilization inwards society.”
HAHAHA!!! Where receive got nosotros heard that 1 before?!! No remove to hollo the orbit 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 number inwards 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”, amongst 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 yesteryear Fahira Idris, the immature adult woman of the onetime economic science government minister Fahmi Idris - is backed yesteryear Rachmat Gobel, in addition to no it does NOT accept a genius to seat 2 in addition to 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 patch packaging to deter smoking equally it mightiness adversely touching on Indonesian kretek sales – never heed the misfortunate smokers who larn cancer right?!)
And besides, isn’t the government minister overlooking 1 uncomplicated fact:
Note: Guinness didn’t pick out the wonderful carmine knobbed hornbill (indigenous to Sulawesi) equally the iconic toucan inwards its vintage ads – although it maybe should receive got given that Republic of Indonesia is (apparently) its 6th largest market!!!
