Government policymaking is going zany in 1 lawsuit again – simply similar during the practiced ol’ days.
Before reformasi truly took concur - if it always did - at that topographic point seemed to last a challenger amidst the ministries well-nigh which 1 could come upwards up alongside the most zany in addition to ridiculous see - my favorites being:
1. The draft law on citizenship which would receive got required foreigners to pay a Rp500 meg ”bond” to wed an Indonesian women.
2. The draft law on manpower which would receive got required expats to receive got a TOEFL proficiency exam inward the Indonesian language.
3. The draft law on pornografi in addition to ponoaksi which would receive got made sunbathing inward Bali illegal in addition to fifty-fifty criminalized national clothes such every bit 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 in addition to store names were going to receive got to role Indonesian. Republic of Indonesia grammer also had to last adopted rather than English linguistic communication grammar. This law, amazing enough, was truly passed in addition to toll Lippo Bank a minor fortune every bit the banking corporation was obligated to rename itself Bank Lippo, therefore requiring all its branch signs to last changed!!
5. The draft law making it a law-breaking non to role the rupiah inward transactions inward Indonesia!!! (highly ironic given how many high-profile corrupt politicians receive got been busted alongside suitcases total of U.S. dollars)
But history repeats itself, in addition to now, nether the supposedly reform-minded Jokowi – although I receive got potent doubts well-nigh that – Republic of Indonesia is entering a novel era of wacko policymaking, every bit evident inward a string of mindboggling decisions, which includes publish 2 higher upwards every bit good every bit the see to ban airlines from selling airline tickets at airports (wtf?!!!!), the conclusion to impose luxury taxes on houses/apartments sold at only Rp2 billion or above, and, most worrying of all, the conclusion to prohibit mini markets in addition to other minor shops from selling drinks alongside depression alcohol content i.e. by in addition to large beer (mini markets are already banned from selling drinks alongside higher alcohol content).
Jokowi’s dislike of drug law-breaking is good known of course of report – he of late 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 upwards yesteryear the side of stinky canals every bit they endeavour to evade the cops? Nope. Or maybe it’s because bintang-heads are dropping dead later consuming a few spectacles too many? Nah. True, a few drinkers powerfulness receive got had a bad hangover but the torso count is nonetheless at zero.
So why? Because, every bit 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 inward society.”
HAHAHA!!! Where receive got nosotros heard that 1 before?!! No postulate to get upwards the orbit hypocrisy of allowing minimarts to nonetheless sell cigarettes which kill to a greater extent than than 200,000 Indonesians annually. Or that the rule volition lawsuit inward to a greater extent than deaths every bit to a greater extent than Indonesian consumers buy illegally produced moonshine – which has been killing people.
Nope the agenda hither is entirely, erm, “social”, alongside 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 lady of the old economic science government minister Fahmi Idris - is backed yesteryear Rachmat Gobel, in addition to no it does NOT receive got a genius to lay 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 final twelvemonth about Australia’s conclusion to require cigarette producers to role patch packaging to deter smoking every bit it powerfulness adversely touching on Indonesian kretek sales – never hear the miserable smokers who larn cancer right?!)
And besides, isn’t the government minister overlooking 1 elementary fact:
Note: Guinness didn’t pick out the wonderful cherry-red knobbed hornbill (indigenous to Sulawesi) every bit the iconic toucan inward its vintage ads – although it maybe should receive got given that Republic of Indonesia is (apparently) its 6th largest market!!!
