KAPTI-Agraria Leadership Inaugurated, Minister Nusron Emphasizes Role in ATR/BPN Digital Transformation

KAPTI-Agraria Leadership Inaugurated, Minister Nusron Emphasizes Role in ATR/BPN Digital Transformation.

Jakarta — Public service transformation at the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) is gaining momentum. In today’s fast-paced digital era, speed and innovation are key to meeting public expectations. This was the message from Minister of ATR/Head of BPN, Nusron Wahid, during the inauguration of the Central Board of KAPTI-Agraria for the 2025–2028 term, held in Jakarta on Friday (June 20, 2025).

Minister Nusron highlighted that a strong and adaptable service system relies heavily on human resource input, and alumni from the Agrarian Higher Education (KAPTI-Agraria) community play a major role in that.

“Our service system depends greatly on the quality of our human resources, and a large number of them come from the KAPTI-Agraria family. This shows just how vital their contribution is to strengthening our institution,” he explained.

He also stressed the importance of keeping up with rapid digital changes, warning that government institutions like ATR/BPN must continuously evolve to stay relevant.

“If we don’t keep up, time will pass us by. The public sector could become irrelevant if we can’t meet the needs of the people,” he said firmly.

Minister Nusron encouraged the newly inaugurated KAPTI-Agraria board to actively share ideas, offer constructive criticism, and suggest innovations that could help ATR/BPN progress further.

“Don’t hesitate to speak up—feedback and criticism are essential. They help us continue improving and ensure our services truly benefit the people of Indonesia,” he added.

During the event, KAPTI-Agraria Chairman Sri Pranoto shared that the organization has recorded 13,705 alumni across Indonesia, with 6,211 of them currently working within ATR/BPN.

Carrying the spirit of “The Next Level”, Sri emphasized that KAPTI-Agraria is committed to being a force of change wherever its members are stationed.

“KAPTI-Agraria isn’t just an alumni group—it’s a home for unity, public service, and a platform for nurturing professional, innovative, and adaptable agrarian leaders,” said Sri Pranoto.

The inauguration was officiated by Deputy Minister of ATR/Deputy Head of BPN, Ossy Dermawan, and was symbolized by the ceremonial raising of the KAPTI-Agraria banner—signifying the responsibility and trust of leadership.

Also attending the event were several senior officials from the ATR/BPN Ministry, including KAPTI-Agraria Supervisory Board Chairman Andi Tenrisau and fellow board members.

The newly appointed leadership of KAPTI-Agraria brings fresh energy and ideas to support the Ministry’s mission of providing faster, more modern, and people-centered public services. With continued collaboration, the organization’s alumni are expected to be key drivers of digital transformation in Indonesia’s land and spatial planning sector.

Over 90% of Industrial Zone Land Remains Unused: Huge Investment Opportunities Await

Over 90% of Industrial Zone Land Remains Unused: Huge Investment Opportunities Await

Over 90% of Industrial Zone Land Remains Unused: Huge Investment Opportunities Await.

Jakarta — Did you know that most of Indonesia’s industrial zone land outlined in spatial planning documents is still sitting unused? According to the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN), more than 90% of designated industrial land hasn't been utilized yet. This opens up a massive window for investment and could significantly boost the national economy.

This was highlighted by the Director General of Spatial Planning, Suyus Windayana, during the National Dialogue at the IX Congress of the Indonesian Industrial Estate Association (HKI) held in Kuningan, Jakarta, on Thursday, June 19, 2025.

“The industrial areas are already mapped out in our spatial plans, but only a small portion is actually in use. That means there’s still a huge investment opportunity here,” said Suyus.

Concrete Examples: Land Is There, But Not Yet Active

Let’s break it down:

• In Sumatra, about 185,412 hectares have been allocated for industrial zones. But only 13,000 hectares—just 7%—have been used so far.

• In Java, of the 350,539 hectares designated, only 34,000 hectares (about 9.75%) have been utilized.

Even though the land is already included in the official spatial plans, the real challenge lies in execution.

The Real Challenges

According to Suyus, the main issues include delays in getting Land Use Suitability (KKPR) permits, incomplete Detailed Spatial Plans (RDTR), and difficulties with land acquisition.

Another big hurdle? The integration of RDTR into the Online Single Submission (OSS) system. From the government's target of 2,000 RDTRs to be synced with OSS, as of mid-2025, only 367 RDTRs have been successfully integrated. The rest are still in the process of being synchronized and digitized.

Government Action: Turning Plans into Progress

To address this, the ATR/BPN Ministry is actively supporting regional governments in developing their RDTRs. Support includes not just funding but also technical guidance to help local administrations move faster and more accurately.

This support is critical because if all the RDTRs can be properly integrated and land use permits streamlined, Indonesia will become far more attractive to investors. This could translate to stronger economic growth, more job creation, and regional development across the country.

There's a massive amount of industrial land in Indonesia just waiting to be developed. The land is there, the plans are in place—it’s all about unlocking the potential. Once challenges like permits and system integration are resolved, the door to investment and economic advancement will swing wide open.

AHY: Without Land Certainty, Development and Investment Can't Move Forward

AHY: Without Land Certainty, Development and Investment Can't Move Forward

AHY: Without Land Certainty, Development and Investment Can't Move Forward.

Jakarta – Legal certainty over land ownership plays a major role in driving development across Indonesia. That’s the message from Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), during the official handover of 1,120 land ownership certificates (SHM) to transmigrant families from Sukabumi on Wednesday (June 18, 2025), held at the Ministry of Transmigration in Jakarta.

Minister AHY gave high praise to the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) for their continued efforts in ensuring land rights throughout the country—especially for communities in transmigration areas.

"I strongly believe that ATR/BPN plays a critical role in our national development. No matter where we build—on or off Java—it all starts with land. If the legal status of the land is unclear, nobody's going to take the risk to invest or build," said AHY.

According to AHY, the impact of ATR/BPN’s programs is now being felt by many. Having a land certificate doesn’t just bring legal clarity—it can open doors to economic opportunities. People gain peace of mind, access to credit, and even more confidence to grow their livelihoods.

“Imagine living for decades on land without any legal ownership. That’s a stressful life. Always anxious, worried about being evicted, or getting caught up in land disputes,” AHY added.

One emotional story came from Kamela Tifah, a transmigrant who finally received her land certificate after 23 long years of waiting. Thanks to the collaboration between ATR/BPN and relevant agencies, she now officially owns the land she’s been living on.

"I’m so grateful to the government, especially to President Prabowo Subianto. After 23 years of waiting, I finally got my certificate. It’s in my hands now,” Kamela said with emotion.

The land certificate handover was led by Minister AHY, accompanied by Deputy Minister of ATR/Waka BPN, Ossy Dermawan, and Minister of Transmigration, M. Iftitah Sulaiman. Other notable attendees included Deputy Minister of Transmigration Viva Yoga Mauladi, Sukabumi Regent Asep Japar, and several high-ranking officials from related ministries and agencies.

This event underscores the importance of inter-agency cooperation in resolving long-standing issues like uncertain land ownership—especially for transmigrant communities. With proper land documentation now in hand, these families can live with more security and pursue better economic futures.

Indonesian Land Ministry Targets Finalization of 2025–2029 Strategic Plan Draft by July, Secretary General Urges Collaborative Effort.

Jakarta — The Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) is on track to complete the Ministerial Regulation Draft (Rapermen) for its Strategic Plan (Renstra) 2025–2029 by the end of July 2025. Secretary General of the Ministry, Pudji Prasetijanto Hadi, emphasized the importance of collaboration and timely completion during a coordination meeting in Jakarta on Thursday (June 19, 2025).

“This is a shared responsibility. Let’s stay focused and get it done together. We don’t want any misinterpretation about our direction moving forward, especially since we’re working on a tight deadline,” said Pudji.

What's the Progress So Far?

The draft regulation consists of two main parts: the body and the appendix. The good news? The body — which includes the preamble, articles, and closing — has been finalized. The appendix, however, is still under review and will need further discussions before final approval.

“What’s next is just finalizing the content and getting it approved. After that, we can move forward,” Pudji explained during the hybrid meeting attended both offline and online.

Aligned with National Development Plan (RPJMN) 2025–2029

This strategic draft isn’t being prepared in isolation. It’s being aligned with the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2025–2029, which was enacted through Presidential Regulation No. 12 of 2025 back in February.

“I want all of us to take this seriously and properly break down the RPJMN into our own actionable plans,” Pudji emphasized.

July Is the Deadline

Head of the Bureau of Planning and Cooperation, Andi Tenri Abeng, expressed hope that the draft would be signed into regulation before the end of July.

“We’re aiming to have the Minister sign off on this by the end of July. So, we really need everyone’s support to stick to the timeline that has been laid out,” said Andi.

Meeting Attended by Key Officials

The coordination meeting was attended by high-ranking officials, administrators, and supervisors from across the ATR/BPN Ministry, both in-person and virtually. Everyone agreed that this strategic plan would serve as a solid foundation for the Ministry’s direction over the next five years.

With a strong focus on collaboration and a clear strategic direction, the Ministry of ATR/BPN is pushing to complete its 2025–2029 Strategic Plan on time. More than just a document, this plan sets the tone for how the Ministry will work and contribute to national development moving forward.

Government Grants 1,120 Land Certificates to Transmigrants in Sukabumi — A Clear Sign of State Recognition

Government Grants 1,120 Land Certificates to Transmigrants in Sukabumi — A Clear Sign of State Recognition.

After more than 20 years of waiting, there's finally good news for transmigrant families in Sukabumi. The Indonesian government has officially handed over 1,120 land ownership certificates (Sertifikat Hak Milik or SHM) to 642 families who have lived on transmigration land since 2001. This handover was led by the Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), alongside Deputy Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN), Ossy Dermawan, and Minister of Transmigration, Muhammad Iftitah Sulaiman, on Tuesday, June 18, 2025.

Speaking at the event held at the Ministry of Transmigration office in Jakarta, Deputy Minister Ossy highlighted the importance of legal certainty over land ownership.

“Without legal status, land can become a burden. But once it’s certified, it becomes a strength. This is a formal recognition from the state. Congratulations to all recipients, and thanks to the Sukabumi local government and the Ministry of Transmigration for their collaboration,” he said.

The beneficiaries of these certificates come from four transmigration areas in Sukabumi Regency — Cimanggu, Cikopeng, Gunung Gedongan, and Puncak Gembor. They include families from various regions, such as Aceh and West Java, who have been living in those locations since the early 2000s.

Minister AHY emphasized that owning a land certificate not only provides legal protection but also opens up economic opportunities.

“A legally owned plot of land can be used as collateral for bank loans or developed into productive business assets,” he explained.

During the event, AHY also launched a flagship program initiated by the Ministry of Transmigration, known as Trans Tuntas, which stands for Land Resolved, Hopes Fulfilled. This program aims to resolve long-standing issues related to land ownership in transmigration areas.

Transmigration Minister Muhammad Iftitah Sulaiman mentioned that tens of thousands — even more than 100,000 — certificates are still pending.

“We’ve allocated funds to support the land measurement and certification process in collaboration with ATR/BPN,” he stated.

The minister hopes that this effort will serve as a concrete step toward achieving agrarian justice, improving the local economy, and ensuring the welfare of transmigrant communities who have long fought to build a better life in new regions.

Also present at the event were key officials including Deputy Minister of Transmigration Viva Yoga Mauladi, Sukabumi Regent Asep Japar, and senior officials from the West Java BPN Regional Office and other related ministries/agencies.

The handover of 1,120 land certificates is not just about paperwork — it’s about giving new hope to thousands of families. The Trans Tuntas program and cross-ministerial cooperation show the government’s strong commitment to settling agrarian issues and delivering social justice.

If you're living on transmigration land and haven’t received your certificate yet, now is a good time to check your status and start the process. Legal land ownership can be your foundation for a more secure and prosperous future.

How to Convert SHGB to SHM via the Sentuh Tanahku App: Check the Requirements and Steps!

How to Convert SHGB to SHM via the Sentuh Tanahku App: Check the Requirements and Steps!.

Do you own a house with SHGB (Right to Build Certificate) status but want to upgrade it to SHM (Certificate of Ownership)? Good news—now the process is much easier and can be checked directly through the Sentuh Tanahku mobile app. Let’s break it down in a way that’s super easy to understand.

SHGB vs. SHM: What’s the Difference?

Before jumping into the process, it’s important to understand the difference between SHGB and SHM:

• SHGB (Sertipikat Hak Guna Bangunan): This is the right to construct and own buildings on land owned by the state or another party, usually valid for 30 years and extendable.

• SHM (Sertipikat Hak Milik): This grants full ownership rights to land and buildings, valid indefinitely and considered the highest legal land ownership status in Indonesia.

If you hold an SHM, you have full legal control over the land and property—no time limits, no extensions needed.

Legal Basis for SHGB to SHM Conversion

The ability to convert SHGB into SHM is clearly regulated under Government Regulation No. 18 of 2021. To support this, the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) has provided a complete guideline and digital access to streamline the process.

Use the Sentuh Tanahku App for Easy Access

No need to stand in long queues at land offices. Just open the Sentuh Tanahku app, and you'll find everything you need to know about converting SHGB to SHM. According to Harison Mocodompis, Head of Public Relations and Protocol at ATR/BPN, the app is designed to make land administration easier for the public.

“Through Sentuh Tanahku, people can easily access information about land rights conversion from HGB to SHM, including all the necessary requirements. Visiting a local land office is still an option if preferred,” Harison said on June 16, 2025.

How to Navigate the App

1. Open the Sentuh Tanahku app

2. Go to the Service Information menu

3. Select the sub-menu Rights Conversion

4. Tap on Conversion of Right to Build into Right of Ownership for residential land

Required Documents

Make sure you have the following documents ready when submitting your application:

• Completed application form signed with a legal stamp

• Power of attorney (if someone is applying on your behalf)

• Photocopy of ID card and Family Card (KTP & KK), verified

• Letter of approval from the creditor (if the land is under mortgage)

• Photocopy of current year’s Land and Building Tax (PBB) receipt, verified

• Proof of payment for registration fee

• SHGB/SHM/Right to Use (Hak Pakai) certificate

• Building Permit (IMB) or a letter from the village head/subdistrict for houses up to 600 m²

• Written statement that the land is dispute-free

• Proof of physical possession

• Detailed info on the land’s size, location, use, and ownership

Faster and More Transparent Process

With this digital system, converting SHGB to SHM is more transparent, quicker, and less of a hassle. It’s a big step toward giving homeowners legal certainty over their properties.

If you still own a home under SHGB status, now’s the time to upgrade to SHM for full legal ownership. The Sentuh Tanahku app is a convenient way to get started without stress or confusion. Your property rights are now just a few taps away!

President Indonesia Underscores Importance of Road Infrastructure for Production Activities

BorneoTribun.com - Proper road infrastructure is essential to support production activities in an area, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has said.

The President made the statement on Friday (02/04), after inspecting Liang Melas Datas Road in Karo regency, North Sumatra province, which is an access to orange-producing area Orange Village.

“After observing on the ground, proper roads are highly needed because it deals with the cost structure of oranges. If the price of oranges is Rp5,000, the delivery fee must not reach Rp8,000. It will not add up,” he said.

The President expressed hope that the repair of Liang Melas Datas Road can reduce the logistics cost to produce oranges in the area, so the price of oranges produced by local farmers can compete with that of imported oranges.

“We hope that with this production road repair, the cost structure, especially for logistics fees, logistics cost can decrease, so oranges can be sent to all cities with a competitive price and can compete with imported oranges,” he said, adding that the repair will also increase profits for farmers.

Therefore, the Government will continue to repair production roads to make the prices of domestic commodities more competitive, he added.

“It has been calculated by Minister of Public Works [and Public Housing] that we need approximately 40,000 kilometers of production roads that need repairing, building so that the cost structure, especially logistics cost can fall to a truly normal price,” he said.

The President has also ordered Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno to improve the packaging and branding of all commodities produced by farmers in the country so that they have a higher sales value.

“I order for better packaging, better brand building, and quality check for every orange. All of this will increase the sales prices of our farmers’ products,” he said.

Data from Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing shows that the repair of 37.2-kilometer-long Liang Melas Datas Road will require a budget of Rp164.8 billion and take up two years of working period, from fiscal year 2022 to 2023.

The road repair is expected to bring real benefits for local communities in shortening traveling time, decreasing logistics fees, facilitating agricultural commodity transportation, and support the development of Liang Melas Datas and its surrounding areas, as well as boost the economic growth of Karo regency.(*)

West Kalimantan Provincial Government Public Relations Called Not Functioning, Midji Furious Only Good at Taking Photos Here and there

West Kalimantan Governor Sutarmidji.

Borneo Tribun Pontianak, West Kalimantan - West Kalimantan Governor Sutarmidji is furious with the performance of public relations within the West Kalimantan Provincial Government. Public relations, which is actually the mouthpiece of the government, is actually considered not functioning.

This was conveyed by Midji while leading the commemoration ceremony for the 65th Anniversary of the West Kalimantan Provincial Government, last Friday.

“So far, I say that public relations is not functioning properly because of a lack of understanding. There are only good at taking pictures here and there, and there are no good photos,” said Midji.

According to Midji, this is not right. This is because, he stressed, there are many programs and developments that have been achieved by the West Kalimantan Provincial Government, which are not widely known by the public.

“Humas is the mouthpiece of what the West Kalimantan Provincial Government has done. We've done a lot of things but nothing has ever been properly exposed. So I have to expose myself via my social media accounts, this is actually not true. If we talk about what the provincial government has done, PR must speak up," he said.

He also emphasized that public relations should no longer be filled with people who do not have extensive knowledge. Because, according to Midji, public relations is a place for creative, innovative, and broad-minded people.

“Understanding the intricacies of the economy, social life with development and so on. That is the function of public relations,” he concluded.(*)

BorneoTribun Jakarta – The Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Treaty was officially signed on Tuesday (25/01/2022), in Bintan, Riau Islands. The agreement was signed by the Indonesian Minister of Law and Human Rights (Menkumham) Yasonna H. Laoly and the Minister of Home Affairs and Singapore's Minister of Law K. Shanmugam and witnessed by Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Singaporean Prime Minister (PM) Lee Hsien Loong.

Menkumham Yasonna Laoly explained that the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Agreement had a retroactive period (retroactive from the date of its promulgation) for the past 18 years. This is in accordance with the provisions on the maximum expiration as stipulated in Article 78 of the Indonesian Criminal Code.

"In addition to the retroactive period, this Extradition Agreement also agrees that the determination of the nationality of the perpetrator of a crime is determined at the time the crime is committed. This is to prevent the privileges that may arise as a result of changing the nationality of the perpetrator of a criminal act in order to avoid legal proceedings against him, "said Yasonna after the signing.

According to this Extradition Agreement, there are 31 types of criminal acts whose perpetrators can be extradited, including corruption, money laundering, bribery, banking, narcotics, terrorism, and the financing of activities related to terrorism.

“Indonesia has also succeeded in convincing Singapore to agree on an Extradition Treaty that is progressive, flexible, and anticipatory towards the current and future developments, forms and modes of criminal acts. The Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Agreement allows both countries to extradite criminals who, although the types of crimes are not explicitly stated in this agreement, have been regulated in the legal systems of the two countries," he explained.

Yasonna explained that the scope of the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Agreement is that both countries agree to extradite any person found to be in the territory of the requested country and sought by the requesting country for prosecution or trial or execution of punishment for extraditable criminal acts.

"This extradition agreement will create a deterrence effect for perpetrators of criminal acts in Indonesia and Singapore," he said.

In addition, continued the Minister of Law and Human Rights, the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Agreement will narrow the space for criminals in Indonesia to escape. This is because Indonesia already has agreements with partner countries in the region, including Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Australia, the Republic of Korea, the People's Republic of China, and Hong Kong SAR.

In particular, for Indonesia, the enactment of the Extradition Agreement can effectively reach perpetrators of past crimes and facilitate the implementation of Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6 of 2021 concerning the Task Force for Handling State Collection Rights for Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance Funds.

Prior to the official signing of the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Agreement, the Indonesian government had begun working on it since 1998. Following is the timeline for the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Agreement:

1. Efforts to establish the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Treaty have been initiated by the Government of Indonesia since 1998 at every opportunity, both in bilateral and regional meetings with the Government of Singapore.

2. On December 16, 2002, at the Bogor Presidential Palace, West Java, Indonesian President Megawati Soekarnoputri and Singaporean Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong held a bilateral meeting to discuss matters relating to the development of cooperation between the two countries in all fields. One of the outcomes of the meeting was an agreement that Indonesia and Singapore would draw up an action plan or an action plan for the establishment of the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Treaty.

3. On 27 April 2007, at the Tampaksiring Palace, Bali, the Indonesian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hassan Wirajuda and Singaporean Foreign Minister George Yeo signed the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Agreement witnessed by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Singaporean PM Lee Hsien Loong .

4. The Indonesia – Singapore Extradition Treaty signed in 2007 cannot be enforced by the two countries because the Governments of Indonesia and Singapore have not ratified the Treaty.

Note: The reason the two countries have not ratified the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Treaty is because the Governments of Indonesia and Singapore agreed that the ratification of the Extradition Treaty be carried out in parallel with the ratification of the Indonesia-Singapore Security Cooperation Agreement. In its development, Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives for the period of 2004 – 2009 in a Working Meeting with the Indonesian Foreign Minister on June 25, 2007, refused to ratify the Security Cooperation Agreement that had been signed so that it had an impact on the ratification process of the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Treaty.

5. On October 8, 2019, the Indonesia-Singapore Leaders' Retreat was held to re-discuss the Agreement to Adjust the Indonesia-Singapore Flight Information Area Boundary (Realignment Flight Information Region/FIR) and the Security Cooperation Agreement.

6. Following up on the results of the 2019 Leaders' Retreat, the Indonesian Minister of Law and Human Rights then proposed that the Extradition Agreement which was paralleled from the beginning with the Security Cooperation Agreement was also re-discussed in the framework for discussion.

7. The Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Agreement was signed at the Indonesia-Singapore Leaders' Retreat, in Bintan, Riau Islands, January 25, 2022.

BorneoTribun Jakarta – During the meeting of Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) with Singapore's Prime Minister (PM) Lee Hsien Loong, Tuesday (25/01/2022) yesterday, in Bintan, Riau Islands, the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Treaty was signed. The agreement, which the Indonesian government has begun working on since 1998, was signed by the Indonesian Minister of Law and Human Rights (Menkumham) Yasonna H. Laoly and the Minister of Home Affairs and Singapore's Minister of Law K. Shanmugam.

"After going through a very long process, the Indonesia-Singapore extradition agreement can finally be implemented," said Yasonna, in a release accessed on the official website of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Wednesday (26/01/2022).

The Minister of Law and Human Rights explained that the scope of the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Agreement was that both countries agreed to extradite any person found to be in the territory of the requested country and sought by the requesting country for prosecution or trial or execution of punishment for extraditable criminal acts.

"This extradition agreement will create a deterrence effect for perpetrators of criminal acts in Indonesia and Singapore," he said.

In addition, Yasonna continued, the existence of the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Agreement will narrow the space for criminals in Indonesia to escape. This is because Indonesia already has agreements with partner countries in the region, including Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Australia, the Republic of Korea, the People's Republic of China, and Hong Kong SAR.

Meanwhile, Indonesia and Singapore have been bound by the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters (MLA) Agreement between ASEAN member countries in 2008.

"If the two countries can immediately ratify the signed Extradition Treaty, law enforcement agencies of the two countries can take advantage of this Extradition Treaty in an effort to prevent and eradicate cross-border criminal acts such as corruption and terrorism," he said.
