"I hope there would be no fee for these micro businessmen," the president, or Jokowi as he commonly known, said after a mass gathering at Deltamas Square in Hegarmukti Village of Bekasi District over the weekend.
The president admitted that micro businessmen have asked the authority to provide halal certificate for their products. "Other micro businessmen, street vendors, also seek for halal certificate."
On the draft government regulation on halal product assurance, Jokowi said, it has been discussed by the government.
"It (the regulation) is related to many small and micro businesses, home industries, in kampongs and villages," he said.
