- Mr. Abdullah Mansyur, an expert member of the House of Representative’s (“House”) legislative body, has issued a statement affirming that the substance of the Draft Bill on the Prohibition of Alcoholic Beverages (“Draft Bill”) will encompass 14 areas, specifically: 1) Definition of alcoholic beverages (Minuman Beralkohol – “Minol”); 2) Types, classifications and contents of Minol; 3) Establishment of industrial operations, production, licenses and production mechanisms in relation to Minol; 4) Minol import restrictions; 5) Support for the development of traditional/local Minol; 6) Minol distribution and trade systems; 7) Minol customs and taxes; 8) Supervision and handling of the effects of Minol; 9) Development of Minol for other industries; 10) Duties, authorizations and government responsibilities; 11) Prohibitions and sanctions; 12) Public participation; 13) Criminal provisions; and 14) Closing provisions.
- Currently, the rules on Minol in Indonesia are scattered across several regulations. However, the members of the House’s legislative body are hopeful that the Draft Bill will ultimately be able to unify the rules for Minol under a single regulatory framework and have stated that said framework will not only include provisions on the prohibition of Minol but also provisions on its control and limitation.
- One member of the House’s legislative body, Ms. Ledia Hanifa, has also suggested that the Draft Bill should specifically address the rehabilitation of alcoholics as part of efforts aimed at protecting the general public from the excessive consumption of alcohol.
