“It is important to simplify the mechanism for formulating regional regulations, so that the public can directly feel the benefits of the regulations,” he noted.
The director general elaborated further, saying that such a step is necessary to face and seize both opportunities and challenges in the future.
Malik underscored the need for mechanism simplification, especially to accelerate the follow-up steps to Law No.6 of 2023 on stipulation of the government regulation in lieu of Law No.2 of 2022 concerning job creation to become law.
“It is greatly expected that this national coordination meeting will serve as a forum for Bapemperda to finalise matters related to regulations, both at the central and regional levels, which are technically implemented through regional regulations,” he pointed out.

Malik also expressed belief that Law No.2 of 2022 will help the country to stimulate the acceleration, enhancement, and development of regional economies.
Advancement of the economy in regions will, in turn, affect the welfare of people in accordance with the principles of regional autonomy, particularly regarding the implementation of regional regulations as regional policies, he affirmed.
