The Batam People’s Coalition has announced plans to continue its protest actions across various locations in Batam. The group aims to show solidarity with the workers of ASL shipyard and to pressure the Indonesian Government to take action against companies that fail to enforce operational safety measures.
In light of the recent tragic explosion at the ASL shipyard, one of the organizers has urged the company to temporarily halt operations at its Batam facility. This pause would allow local authorities to carry out a comprehensive investigation into the incident, which resulted in fatalities.
The coalition’s ongoing protests highlight the community’s concerns over workplace safety and the need for stricter regulations. By advocating for accountability, the group seeks to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.
As the situation develops, the coalition remains committed to its cause, emphasizing the importance of safety in the workplace and the responsibility of companies to protect their employees.
