Investment Ministry to Contact BYD Over Civil Organisation Disruptions at Subang Factory Site
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) has stated it will communicate with Chinese automotive sector investor BYD to resolve issues of civil organisation (ormas) disruptions during the construction of its factory in Subang, West Java.
"Today we will try to contact our colleagues from BYD to find out how the situation is," said Deputy for Investment Promotion at the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM, Nurul Ichwan, in Jakarta on Wednesday.
He said that after establishing communication with BYD, BKPM would coordinate with the Anti-Thuggery Task Force to ensure the disruptive activities could be handled effectively.
Furthermore, according to Nurul Ichwan, BKPM has consistently maintained that thuggery and illegal levies are highly disruptive not only in terms of comfort for business operators, but would also tarnish Indonesia's investment climate image in the eyes of the world.
"Anyone could pick up on the notion that Indonesia is unsafe, that Indonesia has a thuggery problem," he said.
Nurul Ichwan conveyed that in the current global economic conditions, Indonesia should be enhancing its competitiveness to more easily attract foreign investor interest.
"In the current situation, attracting investment is not easy — all countries are becoming increasingly protectionist," he said.
