PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - Taking place at the West Java DPRD Building, a joint commitment was signed between the Governor of West Java, the Chairman of the West Java DPRD, the Commander of the III Siliwangi Military Command, the Commander of the Jaya Military Command, the West Java Police Chief, the West Java High Prosecutor's Office, and the Metro Jaya Police Chief regarding synergy in eradicating acts of thuggery in West Java, on February 21.

The Chairperson of the West Java Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO), Ning Wahyu Astutik, appreciates and fully supports the steps taken by the Governor of West Java, Dedi Mulyadi, in creating a safe and conducive environment for the business world by eradicating mass organizations that disrupt business activities.

"This commitment is a breath of fresh air for business actors who have been facing disruptions from mass organizations, both in industrial areas and industries outside the area," he said, Thursday (27/2/2025).

The Head of APINDO Jabar believes that Dedi Mulyadi's commitment to eradicating thuggery and mass organizations that hinder the business world will have a positive impact on the investment climate in West Java, especially the guarantee of security in doing business. So that it can increase investor confidence to invest in West Java.

Security in business will protect investment in West Java, which also means protecting employees to continue working and avoid potential layoffs (PHK), as well as protecting the community around the company that has a business as a multiplier effect from the investment.

Ning said that currently West Java has 1.76 million unemployed or 23.7 percent of the national figure and is the highest in Indonesia.

Therefore, it is important to ensure that no more workers become victims of layoffs due to investment leaving West Java.

On the contrary, efforts are needed to create more new jobs by improving the investment climate, one of which is through guaranteeing business security.
