TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Indonesia, Yose Rizal Damuri, said nearly 9,000 ministerial regulations were circulating in Indonesia before President Prabowo Subianto’s Red and White Cabinet.
Besides ministerial regulations, Yose said, tens of thousands of ministerial circular letters are in force, serving as the basis for technical regulations in Indonesia.
