Abstract

The formulation of the Omnibus Law Cipta Kerja (Omnibus Law on Job Creation) had caused massive controversy and rejection in the form of a wave of demonstrations by workers, students and elements of society. This study aimed to reveal and analyze patterns of government political communication in the form of statements and clarification by central government officials about the important role of the Job Creation Law for improving the investment climate and providing employment for the ever-increasing workforce and the impact of implemented communication patterns government. This study used a qualitative method with a critical discourse analysis approach. The study found that government political communication in the formulation of the Omnibus Law Cipta Kerja was to form public opinion and encourage the political participation of the community and stakeholders with an act of accepting the ratification of the law. However, central officials' delivery of the substance of the law across ministries and non-governmental organizations tended to be carried out partially and reactive, giving rise to prolonged debates. Therefore, it can be concluded that the government's political communication on strategic policy issues still raises public doubts resulting in unexpected political effects in the form of demonstrations of workers, students and elements of society.
