(Caption : Today, women were abused. The medical camp was ransacked. People were being chased. The House of Regional Representatives of Malang will be renovated just in 24 hours. Tomorrow, the building will be cleaned, the scribbles will be erased and the papers will be thrown away. The lives of people means nothing to them, merely just a cockfight to them.)
There has been a lot happening in Indonesia's politics and it is a m e s s. I'm doing this to bring forth the topic and to inform anyone interested and maybe get more people to help out on this problem.
Most of these are taken and translated from twitter so credits to @/UNIVERSE_JJ0NG on twt
What is Omnibus Law?
It's taken from latin which means 'for all'. In law, it means that it is the law that can cover for all/ a law that controls a lot of other laws.
In simple words; it applies the the "three in one" idea as it stands for 3 RUU (Rancangan Undang-Undang, or bills):
RUU Cipta Kerja, RUU Ketentuan dan Fasilitas Perpajakan untuk Penguatan Perekonomian, and RUU about Pengemangan dan Penguatan Sektor Keuamgan.
Why is it a problem?
Most of the problem lies in the RUU Cipta Kerja as it takes away labor workers' rights and mostly only benefits investors. Basically the rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer.
Adding to that, the percentage of labor workers compared to the number of investors is a lot so it's clear that this law will affect a lot of people.
The entire thing is 1,028 pages so ofc I can't explain the entire thing in detail but here are the problems:
1. Severance pay is removed.
2. Provincial minimum wage (UMP), minimum wage (UMK), and Provincial sectoral minimum wage (UMSP) is removed.
3. Labor wages are counted per hour.
4. Paid leave/ Annual leave (leave for important stuff like sickness, marriage, baptism, death of a loved one, and giving birth) is removed.
5. Outsourcing is replaced with lifetime contracts.
6. There is no permanent employee status.
7. Termination of Employment can be done by companies anytime.
8. Social Security and other welfares is removed.
9. All employees are daily workers.
10. Foreign labor are free to enter.
11. Workers are not allowed to protest. Protests may lead to them being fired.
12. Only national hoidays are allowed. No additional leaves.
13. Breaks on friday will only be an hour, this includes Sholat Jumat (Friday Prayers).
Currently, who supports it and who doesn't?
Political parties who doesn't: (2) Partai Keadilan Sejahtera and Partai Demokrat
Political Parties who do: (7) Partai Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan, Partai Golkar, Partai Gerindra, Partai Nasdem, Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa, Partai Amanat National, and Partai Persatuan Pembangunan.
What have Indonesians done?
College students have started riots demanding the law to be cancelled.

Update (oct - 7) : Here's a link to information and petitions. However, it is in indonesian.
Are there any other problems?
Yes. This problem has been going on for a while but it doesn't mean that it's just old news now. UU Penghapusan kekerasan seksual: The bill to eradicate sexual violance was turned down (crazy right? how they allowed the omnibus law but not this,,,)
Here's the petition
And ofcourse, the on going racism towards Papuanese people...
...and people's ignorance towards the entire COVID-19 problem...
A Summary for those too lazy to read:
The government has approved of a law that would make the lives of labor workers worse and take away their rights to boost the country's economy. Taking away their rights meaning they cannot protest nor can they have leaves outside national holidays,,, even if you're giving birth or if your loved one pass away. In addition to that, their wage will be less since it is counted per hour.
An addition to this post:
The person who's supposed to represent the citizens was talking and uhhhh ,,,, they muted him,,,
He tried using o

The Komodo dragon has been around for a long time and is still, to this day, the apex predator of the islands of Indonesia. This giant lizard (and its giant extinct relative, Megalania) has survived on large prey for millions of years (and in Megalania’s case, survived on human species native to the region, the famous Flored man, known in the media as the hobbit). But after Homo Sapiens entered the scene, all the large mammal preys, found in the Indonesian islands that house the monitor lizard, went extinct. Being out of prey, it turned to cattle that was introduced by humans 5,000 years ago.
The Komodo dragon seems like a being that came from the time of the dinosaurs, a giant predatory lizard that people in Europe only heard about in sailor stories as a fire breathing 7 meter long scaly being that blocked the entrance of the explorers. But today, we no longer look at the animal as a mythical being that exists out of its time, but as a very real animal that survived the death of its world, despite everything.
