An Indonesian court has ordered President Joko Widodo to amend parts of an omnibus law that was meant to create jobs by overhauling investment regulations. The changes must be made within two years or the law would be deemed unconstitutional, said Anwar Usman, chief judge of the constitutional court. The panel of judges rejected calls for the entire law to be cancelled and allowed the law to remain in force until revisions are made. The bill has faced controversy since it was first announced in 2019, with workers and investors raising concerns over labour rights and environmental protection.
