He encouraged the government to step in quickly by providing the right regulations.
“Not tax amnesty, but sunset policy. Because tax amnesty make people doubt. Because the enforcement is so absolute, is this true or not, later a lie.

The existence of additional funds can make economic growth creep up. So that budget absorption from the government is not the only hope that can be relied on. Totok also hopes that there will be regulatory relief so that the circulation of money can be revived
“I’ve already reported it to several Ministries, so they asked for it highlight, which tree, this I report as an obstacle in the field, “he explained.
