Polri Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo urged all elements of the\nworkforce to unite in safeguarding the investment climate and domestic\neconomic stability, a priority given the ongoing global geopolitical\nuncertainties. He voiced the appeal during a Ramadan goodwill gathering\nand Iftar with the Confederation of All Indonesian Workers\u2019 Union\n(KSPSI) in West Java at PT NOK, Cikarang, on Friday 6 March 2026.<\/p>\n
\u2018Obviously we all follow the developments in the global situation\nthat are currently taking place, which evidently have a very significant\nimpact,\u2019 General Sigit said at the scene. In his briefing, he\nhighlighted the conflict among the United States, Israel and Iran that\nhas broad implications for the world economy. Notably after the death of\nIran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. \u2018Moreover, after the death\nof Ayatollah Ali Khamenei along with Iran\u2019s leaders, the red flag with a\ncrescent was raised, which signals that this war will not be brief and\nwill endure until their retaliation is balanced,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
He noted that the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East will\naffect global crude oil prices. \u2018As of today, prices have risen by 16\npercent. From USD 66 per barrel, they are now around USD 77 per barrel.\nThis clearly has implications for both the global and domestic\nsituations,\u2019 General Sigit said.<\/p>\n
Therefore, General Sigit emphasised the importance of solidity among\nworkers, the government and all elements. Indonesia, he said, must be\nable to manage its natural resources autonomously and maintain food and\nenergy resilience. \u2018In this situation, we all, with the government, must\nbe solid,\u2019 he hoped. \u2018The choice in today\u2019s global circumstances is that\nIndonesia must be self-reliant. We must stand on our own two feet,\u2019 he\nadded.<\/p>\n
Separately, the former head of the Indonesian Criminal Investigation\nAgency discussed the economic diplomacy pursued by President Prabowo\nSubianto. The government has managed to lobby for lower export tariffs\nto the United States, and has secured 0 percent import tariff facilities\nfor almost 1,800 commodities. \u2018Including in the package are matters\nrelating to the work of our workers. Shoe factories, semiconductors,\nfurniture, textiles, and others. This is welcome news that can help push\nour domestic industries\u2019 production into the United States, a sizeable\nmarket for staple goods,\u2019 he explained.<\/p>\n
General Sigit urged workers to seize these opportunities and support\ndownstream industrial development. One measure is to raise the quality\nof human resources so that workers can compete. \u2018Naturally, we also want\nto push that given Indonesia\u2019s current conditions and the economy\u2019s\ngrowth, we must safeguard the investment climate so that investment\u2014both\nforeign and domestic\u2014continues to grow,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
As a tangible form of police support for upgrading workers\u2019 capacity,\nGeneral Sigit offered open use of Police facilities. He invited KSPSI to\nuse the National Police School (SPN) across the country for vocational\ntraining and skills enhancement if industrial districts lack training\nspaces. \u2018I call on the rank-and-file of the Police wherever they are:\nthe SPN we have is open for use. If you want SAR training, securing\nindustrial areas, or technical training, feel free. We will prepare to\nhelp raise the quality of our human resources,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
He even instructed the Head of the Police Medical and Health Service\n(Kapusdokkes) to prioritise BPJS services for workers at Bhayangkara\nHospitals across Indonesia.<\/p>\n
