One Stop Service, an utopia
When I was young reporter, investment minister under Soeharto administration told the press over and over about how government would simplify licensing and de-bureaucratization of investment process here. It's never a reality. Soeharto's successors---BJ Habibie, Abdurrahman Wahid, and Megawati Soekarnoputri promised the same only to end up as empty promises. Can Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono make it?
In the next few weeks, government would announce a new economic package in order to boost growth, attract more investments, and create more jobs. One of decisions to be announced will be the one stop service mechanism. The idea is the same: investors should come to a certain government institution, stop there and have everything ready for them whether it be investment license, land title, expat permits, import license, permanent business license (IUT), and bunch of licenses. It's not clear which institution, but I guess it should be Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM).
While trying to be positive thinking of the idea, I'm not sure whether the mechanism would really works and investors would only stop once, because licensing has been a lucrative 'business' for government officers in all ranks, be it central or regional administrations. Regional autonomy implemented since 2001 has made things even more complicated because the local 'kings' would simply stubborn in releasing some of their 'licensing' business to the 'one stop service agent'.
SBY would score a huge success if he could implement the 'one stop service' mechanism because even Soeharto's authoritarian regime failed to implement that.

I don't think it will happen. At least not when Mr. Lutfi is still in charge with the investment agency. This agency needs more influential people who can make things move. Someone senior who is well respected by all ministers. Someone who can work well and is a real achiever.

I share the view. The job needs someone who has enough presence and capability to get things done. It is not going to happen under the current leadership
