Civil Vigilance: Decoding Indonesia’s 2000 Regulation on Public Anti-Corruption Measures

Summary:

The 2000 Government Regulation on Public Participation in Anti-Corruption in Indonesia is a crucial tool in the country's fight against corruption. The Regulation's features, such as online reporting, interdisciplinary teams for investigations, and penalties and rewards, make it effective in uncovering corruption. The Regulation's success was demonstrated in a recent real estate scam case, where reports from multiple sources led to the exposure and punishment of culprits. However, one area for improvement is the lack of information dissemination to the public about the reporting process and available protections. Overall, the Regulation is an important example of a "living law"" that adapts to societal needs and involves the public in governance.
