Jakarta, TheIndonesiaPost – The Indonesian Consumers Foundation (YLKI) strongly rejects plans to open a number of malls in DKI Jakarta on Friday, 5 June 2020.
YLKI Daily Board Chairman Tulus Abadi assessed that the move was too rash given the corona virus-positive patient curve had not been sloping.
“The opening of the mall in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta on June 5, I think the policy is too early. In fact, it is too rash, so that I think YLKI rejected the plan to open the mall on that date,” he said quoted from Cable News Network Indonesia.
According to Tulus, a relaxation effort in the form of opening a new mall can be done when the co-19 case curve has decreased.
YLKI also appealed to the community not to visit the mall when the relevant area is in the red zone and large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) are still in place.
If the mall opening continues and many violations occur, Tulus requests that the government impose strict sanctions on mall managers and tenants (tenants) who cannot carry out health protocols.
“This will be difficult to monitor even though it is urged, requested, required to use health protocols but in fact it will be very difficult to control and the potential for violations is huge,” he said.
Tulus reminded the government to prioritize co-19 control aspects over the economy. Because, the COVID-19 problem must be solved first before recovering the economy.
“It can’t be reversed,” he said. (jekki/bbs)
