Bontang City Government Builds Investment Compliance Culture Through Digital Literacy and Technical Assistance
BONTANG – The Bontang City Government is not only focused on attracting investment but is also serious about building a culture of compliance and transparency in investment reporting. Through the Bontang Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP Bontang), the city administration has launched an Investment Implementation Control Programme that prioritises digital literacy, technical assistance, and multi-stakeholder synergy.
Head of DPMPTSP Bontang, Muhamad Aspianur, affirmed that many business operators still face challenges in understanding their investment reporting obligations through digital systems. "Many are still unfamiliar with OSS-RBA. Therefore, the government must be present to provide comprehensive understanding," said Aspianur on Friday (13/6/2025).
These efforts have been realised through various workshops and technical guidance sessions on completing Investment Activity Reports (LKPM). The activities involve not only business operators but also other technical agencies to foster uniform communication and understanding in investment supervision.
"With good understanding, business operators become more orderly, and we can have a strong database for planning and evaluation," said Aspianur.
Supervision is also conducted beyond the desk. The DPMPTSP team regularly carries out field inspections to verify data against actual conditions and assess compliance with permits. This measure is considered important for maintaining the integrity of the investment system and ensuring that permits issued are properly implemented in accordance with regulations.
Beyond mere supervision, DPMPTSP Bontang's approach reflects a paradigm shift in investment management from control to collaboration. The government does not merely oversee but also accompanies and facilitates.
"The ultimate direction is clear: to build a healthy, accountable investment climate that provides direct benefits to the community," Aspianur concluded.
