We can start with government-linked landlords (the largest group in the country). Jurisdictions as varied as Australia, Canada, France, and Germany have such laws in place. Even China, a developing country, has a variant of such protections in place. (20/n)

To curate a better balance, we can require mall operators to ensure that there is a minimum proportion of Nusantara and local F&B options in the tenant mix, rather than always going with the highest-bidder model. (24/n)

A simple tax on nonconforming malls and landlords will probably align incentives, rather than some hard quota. Regardless of how, the principle is to put a value on our intangible heritage, which we all celebrate. (n/n)

Of course, capping rental rate rises should also be accompanied by legislation that better protects against abuse. You can’t have landlords simply choose not to renew leases, without just cause, to skirt the rule. (19/n)
