The National Police Chief Urged Entrepreneurs to Report Extortion and Thuggery That Disrupt Investment

Sep, 15 2026

Independennews.com | Bekasi – National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has urged business owners to report illegal levies, thuggery, and crimes that disrupt business and investment activities in Indonesia.

The National Police Chief made the statement while attending the Grand Consolidation of the Federation of Indonesian Metal Workers Unions (FSPMI) in the MM2100 Industrial Area, Bekasi Regency, West Java on Friday, September 11, 2026.

The National Police Chief said that the police must immediately respond to the report and follow up firmly in accordance with legal provisions.

"Entrepreneurs and companies who encounter acts of thuggery, extortion, or other crimes are welcome to report them. I urge the police to take immediate action so that investors will not hesitate to enter Indonesia," Listyo said.

The activity carried the theme "Fair Industrial Relations and Investment Conduciveness".

The event was attended by approximately 2,000 workers from around 1,200 companies in the MM2100 Industrial Area and its surroundings.

The National Police Chief said that security stability is one of the foundations for the sustainability of the business world.

According to him, a well-maintained security situation can provide a sense of security to workers and support the smooth operation of the company.

Furthermore, security conditions are considered related to investor confidence. The Indonesian National Police (Polri) stated that they will continue to provide protection and legal certainty to ensure industrial activities run safely and sustainably.

"The National Police want to reassure entrepreneurs and investors that Indonesia is a safe and conducive place to invest. The National Police will continue to provide security guarantees so that investment and business activities can run smoothly and sustainably," said the National Police Chief.

On the other hand, Listyo reminded that investment conduciveness is not only determined by security factors.

Companies must also comply with regulations, fulfill workers' rights, and build fair and harmonious industrial relations.

According to him, workers and entrepreneurs are two elements that need each other.

Companies need worker support to maintain production, while workers need healthy and growing companies as a source of livelihood.

Therefore, the Chief of Police encouraged the government, employers, workers, and labor unions to prioritize communication and deliberation in resolving labor issues.

Differences in interests, he said, should not develop into conflicts that are detrimental to workers, companies, or the economy.

Meanwhile, the government stated that Indonesia has potential as an investment destination due to its natural resources, large domestic market, and downstream development in various strategic sectors.

National investment realization reached IDR 1,010.6 trillion by the first semester of 2026. During the same period, West Java recorded investment of IDR 138 trillion.

Bekasi Regency is one of the pillars of West Java's investment growth. In the first quarter of 2026, investment realization in Bekasi Regency reached IDR 31.7 trillion, or 41.29 percent of West Java's total investment of IDR 76.8 trillion.

Furthermore, the National Police Chief urged the government, employers, workers, and labor unions to work together to create a safe industrial environment, equitable labor relations, and an investment climate that benefits all parties.

West Java Prepares Five Regions for Semiconductor and Data Center Development

The West Java Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP) is developing investment clusters across 27 regencies and cities to attract capital-intensive investments in leading sectors, particularly semiconductors and data centers. Head of West Java DPMPTSP, Dedi Taufik, stated that the agency has observed a shift in global investment trends in recent years—from infrastructure-focused investments toward high-technology sectors. “We are implementing a thematic regional investment approach in West Java,” Dedi said on Monday (February 23, 2026). Global Trends: AI and CHIPS Policies Drive Semiconductor Growth By 2025, global investment trends are expected to be dominated by the data center and semiconductor sectors, both of which are experiencing significant growth. Data centers alone are projected to account for approximately one-fifth of the total value of new global investment projects. According to Dedi, the surge in semiconductor project value—often disproportionate to the number of projects—is driven by the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) and chip sovereignty policies such as the CHIPS and Science Act in the United States, as well as similar initiatives in Europe and Asia. He added that global capital flows are becoming increasingly selective, prioritizing high-value strategic projects rather than conventional factory expansions. Meanwhile, several sectors—including infrastructure, renewable energy, and tariff-sensitive industries such as textiles, electronics, and machinery—have experienced declining investment. Five Regions Prepared Based on investment cluster mapping, five regions in West Java are being prepared as hubs for the development of downstream electronics and semiconductor industries, namely: Bekasi Regency Karawang Regency Subang Regency Purwakarta Regency Sukabumi Regency In addition, West Java is projected to become a national hub for digital economy development and data center investment. Currently, more than 30 companies have already invested in data center projects across the province. The primary locations for data center investments are located in the industrial areas of Bekasi Regency, Karawang Regency, and Purwakarta Regency. By 2025, the Bodekarpur region is expected to record approximately Rp26 trillion in investment in the information and communications sector, while the Greater Bandung region is projected to attract around Rp3.40 trillion.
