[SPEAKING EDITOR] With Fajar Jaman: Rubber Articles And Disadvantages Of The PDP Bill

JAKARTA - The draft Personal Data Protection (PDP) Bill is still in debate. It is feared that the incompleteness in the design will become a rubber article, just like the ITE Law. Fear of becoming a new problem arises.

We spoke with Fajar Jaman, a founder of Data Science Indonesia and CEO of IYKRA who has been working in the data sector for the past 10 years. He said that when referring to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which is already in effect in Europe, the PDP bill seems to have adopted the GDPR. However, Fajar said that the adoption has only reached 40%, even though the PDP Bill is scheduled to be completed in 2021.

If you look at the current draft PDP Bill, Article 16 Paragraph 1 regulates exceptions for Article 8, Article 9, Article 10, Article 11, Article 12, and Article 14. All rights listed in these articles do not apply to defense and security interests. national, the interests of the law enforcement process, the interests of monitoring the financial services sector, monetary, payment system and financial system stability, as well as the public interest in the framework of state administrators. This article can become a rubber article if it is not clearly formulated. Fajar Jaman also conveyed the fear of the occurrence of this rubber article.
