The Indonesian Industrial Estate Association (HKI) reports that losses due to investment cancellations and investors leaving industrial estates have reached hundreds of trillions of rupiah, with violent acts by social organizations being the main cause. The HKI chairman stated that losses include not only withdrawn investments but also investments that have not yet entered, potentially reaching hundreds of trillions of rupiah. Social organizations often enter industrial estates to demonstrate, demanding involvement in factory construction or activities such as providing transportation, catering services, etc. This disruption has led some investors to write directly to President Prabowo. Violent acts by social organizations frequently occur in Bekasi, Karawang, East Java, and Batam, including locations of some large investment projects such as China's Xinyi Glass Group and Taiwan's Foxconn. Their methods include demonstrations and blocking access roads to industrial estates, causing factory operations to be disrupted, raw materials unable to enter, finished products unable to leave, and some social organizations even daring to blockade factories. HKI demands that the government guarantee the security of industrial estates, as some estates are national strategic targets requiring additional protection.
