JAKARTA. The requirement for project developers to carry out an Environmental Impact Analysis (Amdal) hinders investment, because developers have to spend months to arrange required documents, according to Jakarta Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama. “How can we create an easy atmosphere of doing business if arranging Amdal document takes months to complete,” he said, adding that he had proposed to President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo to scrap the Amdal requirement for the development of certain projects. The Jakarta’s one-stop integrated service (PTSP) could not immediately issue project permits, because of the difficulty to arrange Amdal documents, the governor said on Friday.
