Investment Minister Bahlil's Resignation Pledge Over Mining Permit Irregularities Goes Viral
Social media has been set abuzz by a video featuring a striking statement from Investment Minister and Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Bahlil Lahadalia. In the video uploaded to Instagram, Bahlil declared his readiness to step down from his position if any irregularities were proven in the process of revoking and restoring Mining Business Permits (IUP).
The statement was made by Bahlil during a working meeting with Commission VI of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) in 2024. However, the response from a member of parliament was rather surprising. One DPR member immediately responded by stating that Bahlil had indeed made mistakes.
The issue surrounding the revocation and restoration of IUPs has now come under intense public scrutiny. Many parties have questioned the integrity and transparency of the process, particularly given its impact on the investment climate and public trust.
It did not take long for Bahlil's statement to go viral and become the subject of widespread mockery online. A flood of sarcastic comments and biting jokes inundated social media, with netizens holding the minister to his word and calling for his resignation.
