At the end of the activity, it was stated that the DPR might be deemed to have an inadequate performance because of the imbalance of the number of bills that were set by prolegnas and bills that were legalized. However, it is true that this is DPR effort to accommodate the aspirations of the community and it did not even rule out the possibility of Batam itself to submitt a Special Act considering the authority dualism polemic between the Local Government and BP Batam that had occurred.
