A brand new form of discrimination against Chinese (Jakarta Post; 09-Apr-07)
Ivan Wibowo, Jakarta

Discrimination is not over for Chinese-Indonesians. Several brand new restrictions have been declared for the Chinese in the country since the end of last year.

It is now "illegal" for Chinese-Indonesians to sign a cheque or to have an insurance policy. The Civil Code and the civil litigation procedure law is no longer valid for the ethnic group. The implications are, among others, that they can not file complaints, or be complained about, in state courts for tort or breach of contract, remedies and others.

How could this blatant discrimination happen? Has the dream of non-discriminatory treatment just evaporated?

At the end of last year, The 2006 Resident Administration Law was enacted. Article 106 of the law revokes several Dutch colonial laws in the administration of resident matters, including those on the conducting of civil registration for several important events in a life of a person, i.e. birth, marriage, divorce and death. This registration has significant legal implications in areas such as inheritance rights.

The revocation of the Dutch colonial laws was a blessing because they discriminated and segregated residents into three different groups: European, Eastern Foreigner and Indigenous. Each of them was administered under different laws. Biological identification decided which law should be implied. A Caucasian with Taiwan citizenship should be registered as European and not Eastern Foreigner. That was part of the history.

The problem is, however, that the 2006 law incorrectly revokes a regulation that actually should not have been scrapped. What was revoked by article 106 C was a regulation that brought into force several laws in business for the Chinese: The Civil Code, the trade law, the bankruptcy law, the civil litigation procedure law, the firm law and the adoption law. These regulations were well known as Staatsblad.2. Before 1917, these laws only applied to the Dutch and Europeans.

However, after these laws were accidentally revoked, they were no longer effective for the Chinese. As the Chinese play a significant role in business, it will be a "business jam". In short, it's a catastrophe.

What the 2006 law should revoke is the colonial law widely known as Staatsblad, or the Regulation for Civil Registration for the Chinese. This regulation is stated the birth certificate of every Chinese person in Indonesia. And it is also written as the legal basis for civil registration ordinances in every regency and municipal administration. Please note that as the Staatsblad has not been revoked, it still is in full power to force the Chinese into a different registration scheme. And that is discrimination, at least segregation.

The case is just the same for article 106 E that revokes Staatsblad 193-74, a regulation on marriage for Christian Indonesians in Java, Minahasa and Ambon. This Staatsblad had already been revoked by Article 66 of the 1974 Marriage Law.

What the 2006 law should revoke is known as Staatsblad, or the Regulation for Civil Registration for Christian Indonesians. Again, just like Chinese, this regulation is stated on the birth certificate for every Christian Indonesian and used by every regency government. Still, it has been wrongly typed.

Suppose this flaw was not a result of negligence. The lack of proficiency in the Dutch language could be the primary cause, as the colonial era is long over.

On the other hand, should those who drafted the law on resident administration have intentionally formulated the law as it is now, then it is a disaster for our nation and character building. It is a reconnaissance of minority groups. The present careless regime theoretically has full power to continue discrimination.

Carelessly or intentionally, the Home Ministry must be responsible at least for an immediate revision for the law.

The objective of this new law is to ensure that all ethnic groups in Indonesian have equal right and obligation as Indonesian citizen.

All discrimination laws/regulations made before this law should be aborted. However, we need more time and further regulation from our gov't to apply this law.

Which regulations is he talking abt? AFAIK Stbld 1917/130 (if that was what he meant) was only on civil registration and one of a series of similar legislations made by the Dutch based on respective races, which are all revoked, and has not much --if anything-- to do with business and other civil affairs.
And btw isn't "Resident" an awkward translation for "Kependudukan"? is it official translation?

The implementation of the new citizenship law seems to be progressing with unusual swiftness.

The new law, UU Kewarganegaraan, touted as a “revolutionary” change in the way that the state views citizenship and nationality, was passed by the parliament on July 11th and the affected government departments were at that time given nine months to prepare the necessary regulations and forms to allow it to be implemented.

On 29th September it was reported that the minister for Law & Human Rights, Hamid Awaluddin, had the previous week just completed two ministerial edicts concerning the new rules for citizenship. The first decree was concerned with the status of children of mixed marriages, marriages where one party was Indonesian and the other foreign. Such children will now receive Indonesian citizenship automatically, whereas in the past this was only possible where the father was Indonesian. Had the children been born to a foreign man and an Indonesian women they were previously regarded as aliens, and needed visas to live in the country of their birth.

The second decree issued by the minister lays out the details, including relevant forms and paperwork, for Indonesians abroad who have lost their citizenship because they did not report themselves to an Indonesian diplomatic mission for five years, to regain their original citizenship. Such people will now have three years in which to re-apply for it.

A further two decrees need to be issued in order for the law to come fully into effect.

It's law already, but it's on civil registration (registration of births, deaths, marriages, divorce etc.) --in Indonesian it's known as Undang-undang Administrasi Kependudukan. It is written to replace the old regulations on civil administration made by the Dutch.

There are several of the Dutch-made regulations, each covering different races: european, east asian, non-european foreigner (arabs and indians fell into this category), bumiputra and christian bumiputra, each with different (albeit slightly) sets of rules. All has been revoked with the enactment of this new law, meaning there's no more discrimination.

The old regulation on east asian is known as Staatsblad (Stbld) 1917/130, but it's not clear why the writer does not want it (if it is what he meant) to be revoked and how it could affect business, since it only concerned civil registration. I said "if it is what he meant" because in the article it is only mentioned as Staatsblad 2 or Staatsblad. "Staatsblad" simply means "State Gazette". The number, which is missing, is to indicate gazette of which year and which specific act/regulation in that gazette that you should refer to.

Anyways, CMIIW but I think ordinary citizens may also request judicial review of any law to the Constitutional Court.

@rico: Of course, we all have that kind of problem. But only Malaysia has the thick skin to make it legal in front of the law with Bumiputera status $hit, Malay gotta be Muslim $hit, etc.

@joko: I also don't get it. He wants Chinese Indonesians to have special rights as it was in the old law or what? If he is, then he's really fu-ked up.
jokotarub
^^maybe not. it's either him or our lawmakers or the clerk who typed it got the Stbld number mixed up. btw the new law is also given number: UU no. 23/2006. I wonder whether somebody would get the number mixed up again 90 yrs from now biggrin.gif

Since some posters are apparently too lazy to read thoroughly this short thread, I'd repeat some points I made before:

It's a law on civil registration, which is concerning registration of births, deaths, marriages, divorce etc., not a civil code, so it should have nothing to do with business operations.

It is written to replace the old regulations on civil registration made by the Dutch, which segregated the population into races: european, east asian, non-european foreigner (arabs and indians fell into this category), bumiputra and christian bumiputra; and gave different (albeit slightly) sets of rules for each race. All has been revoked with the enactment of this new law, meaning there's no more discrimination.

It is not clear in the article why the writer does not want the old regulation on east asian to be scraped, neither how revoking the old regulations could affect business, since it --again-- only concerned civil registration. In the article the old regulation only mentioned as Staatsblad 2 or Staatsblad. "Staatsblad" simply means "State Gazette". The number, which is missing in the article, is to indicate gazette of which year and which specific act/regulation in that gazette that someone should refer to.

A serious concern regarding the law should take form in a request of judicial review to the Constitutional Court, and until now it hasn't been made.

^^we had. it was dutch laws, and now the differences before the law between those who are and those who are not are diminishing quite fast. some are happy, some are not, but I guess we all start getting used to it. we'd better do, IMO.
Bhaskara
Gee, aaaw, u're just as stupid as you are ignorant. Read joko's posting. In the old Dutch law, we were inequals in front of the law. Europeans were in the top position, followed by the East Asian (such as the Chinese) and at the bottom were the natives.

The new law is actually a good one since it annulled the old law by giving every citizen an equal position in front of the law.

Why is this b!tch complaining is beyond me. If he really wants to be in a higher position than the natives in front of the law, he should just leave the country. No place for a racist bigot here.

Another article from Ivan Wibowo.

Filosofi dan tujuan UU Adminduk ini sangat positif dan juga "revolusioner", tapi sepertinya masih terdapat kekeliruan dalam mengambil referensi nomor Staatsblad-nya saja. Nggak tahu kenapa ini bisa terjadi ?

Jauh lebih baik jika kekeliruan ini dapat segera diperbaiki agar UU Adminduk ini tidak "cacat hukum" nantinya.

Kekeliruan dalam UU Adminduk
Oleh Ivan Wibowo

Peristiwa penting dalam hidup seseorang, dalam pengertian hukum, harus dicatat negara, misalnya kelahiran, perkawinan, perceraian, kematian. Hal ini penting karena menimbulkan akibat hukum, di antaranya pewarisan. Selama ini pelaksanaan pencatatan yang dilakukan kantor catatan sipil, masih menggunakan dasar hukum peninggalan kolonial Belanda. Karena itu, dalam setiap akta kelahiran seseorang di Indonesia, entah warga negara Indonesia atau orang asing, peraturan kolonial itu dinyatakan sebagai dasar hukumnya. Akhir tahun lalu, mulai berlaku Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2006 tentang Administrasi Kependudukan (UU Adminduk). Peraturan antik kolonial tersebut diperbaharui.

Pasal 106 dari UU Adminduk tersebut, seperti dikutip dari website Departemen Hukum dan HAM, menyebutkan, "Pada saat Undang-undang ini mulai berlaku: a. Buku Kesatu Bab Kedua Bagian Kedua dan Bab Ketiga Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata (Burgerlijk Wetboek voor Indonesie, Staatsblad 1847:23); b. Peraturan Pencatatan Sipil untuk Golongan Eropa (Reglement op het Holden der Registers van den Burgerlijken Stand voor Europeanen, Staatsblad 1849:25 sebagaimana telah diubah terakhir dengan Staatsblad 1946:136); c. Peraturan Pencatatan Sipil untuk Golongan Cina (Bepalingen voor Geheel Indonesie Betreffende het Burgerlijken Handelsrecht van de Chinezean, Staatsblad 1917:129 jo. Staatsblad 1939:288 sebagaimana diubah terakhir dengan Staatsblad 1946:136); d. Peraturan Pencatatan Sipil untuk Golongan Indonesia (Reglement op het Holden van de Registers van den Burgerlijeken Stand voor Eenigle Groepen v.d niet tot de Onderhoriger van een Zelfbestuur, behoorende Ind. Bevolking van Java en Madura, Staatsblad 1920:751 jo. Staatsblad 1927:564); e. Peraturan Pencatatan Sipil untuk Golongan Kristen Indonesia (Huwelijks-ordonantie voor Christenen Indonesiers Java, Minahasa en Amboiena, Staatsblad 1933:74 jo. Staatsblad 1936:607 sebagaimana diubah terakhir dengan Staatsblad 1939:288); f. Undang-Undang Nomor 4 Tahun 1961 tentang Perubahan atau Penambahan Nama Keluarga (Lembaran Negara Tahun 1961 Nomor 15, Tambahan Lembaran Negara Nomor 2154), dicabut dan dinyatakan tidak berlaku."

Pencabutan itu patut disyukuri. Setidaknya UU Adminduk mengurangi legalized discrimination dalam pencatatan sipil. Dalam aturan lama yang masih berlangsung sampai sekarang, tersebut antara lain, bayi Tionghoa dan bayi pribumi dicatat dengan dasar hukum berbeda. Bayi "pribumi Islam" dan bayi "pribumi Nasrani" serta bayi "pribumi non-Islam dan non-Nasrani", berbeda dasar hukum pencatatan untuk akta kelahirannya. Diskriminasi, minimal segregasi, terjadi sejak seseorang lahir di bumi Nusantara ini, terus sesudah dia mati.

Penting dipahami, pencatatan versi lama tersebut di atas dilakukan berdasarkan ciri fisik biologis, bukan jurisdiksi, menurut kesimpulan Suma Mihardja, Ketua Kelompok Kerja Konsorsium Catatan Sipil. Apabila ada seorang bule tetapi warga negara Taiwan, dia akan dicatat sebagai golongan Eropa, bukan golongan Tionghoa.

Tidak jelas betul metode penilaian biologisnya. Dalam praktik di lapangan, banyak variasinya. Bersyukur UU Adminduk ini tidak lagi memberlakukan pencatatan berdasarkan ciri fisik biologis tersebut.

Golongan Tionghoa

Tetapi, rasa syukur itu tidak lama. Perhatikan baik-baik Pasal 106 butir C. Tampak yang dicabut berdasarkan Pasal 106 butir C tersebut terjadi kekeliruan, yaitu ketidaksesuaian arti antara teks bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Belanda. Teks bahasa Indonesia menyebutkan, "Peraturan Pencatatan Sipil untuk Golongan Cina". Keterangannya yang berbahasa Belanda, tersebut sebagai Staatsblad 1917:129 (dan perubahannya), artinya "Ketentuan-Ketentuan untuk Seluruh Indonesia tentang Hukum Perdata dan Hukum Dagang untuk Golongan Tionghoa".

Isi Staatsblad 1917:129 adalah pemberlakuan terhadap orang Tionghoa atas sejumlah peraturan, yaitu Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata, Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Dagang, Reglemen Acara Perdata (Rv), Kepailitan. Juga, peraturan tentang kongsi dagang dan pengangkatan anak (adopsi). Jadi, tidak ada hubungannya dengan masalah catatan sipil, kecuali adopsi.

Selanjutnya, perhatikan dasar hukum kolonial yang selama ini digunakan untuk pencatatan sipil kalangan Tionghoa, sebagaimana tercantum pada setiap akta kelahiran (maupun pernikahan), yaitu Staatsblad 1917: 130 (berikut perubahan-perubahannya) dengan judul asli (Belanda) Regl. Op Het Houden Der Registers Van Den Burgerlijken Stand Voor De Chineezen. Diterjemahkan sebagai "Peraturan Penyelenggaraan Daftar-daftar Catatan Sipil untuk Golongan Tionghoa". Dengan kata lain, berarti Peraturan Pencatatan Sipil untuk Golongan Cina, sebagaimana teks bahasa Indonesia dari Pasal 106 C tersebut. Jadi, seharusnya Staatsblad 1917: 130 inilah yang dicabut.

Ini jelas kekeliruan. Kekeliruan itu membawa akibat hukum ke depan yang rumit. Pertama (mengenai hal pencatatan sipil), Staatsblad 1917: 130 jelas belum dicabut dan karena itu masih berlaku. Teks bahasa Indonesia dalam Pasal 106 C tersebut tidak memiliki arti apa-apa karena tidak ada peraturan seperti berbunyi itu dalam hukum Indonesia. Yang berlaku adalah teks bahasa Belanda dalam Staatsblad 1917: 130 tersebut. Jadi, dalam akta kelahiran untuk golongan Tionghoa, aturan itu masih harus disebut.

Terdapat dualisme hukum. Pertama, Staatsblaad 1917: 130 yang mendasarkan pada penilaian fisik biologis, sedangkan UU Adminduk mendasarkan jurisdiksi (warga negara pemohon pencatatan sipil).

Lantas, mana yang akan dipakai? Keadaan dualisme itu akan menyebabkan setiap kantor catatan sipil bebas menafsirkan mana yang akan dipakai. Tentunya, membuka peluang untuk pemerasan.

Kedua (mengenai hal di luar masalah pencatatan sipil), Staatsblad 1917: 129 jelas tidak berlaku lagi. Tegas dan jelas disebutkan dalam Pasal 106 C. Itu berarti terhadap golongan Tionghoa tidak berlaku semua aturan yang diberlakukan kepadanya berdasarkan staatsblad tersebut. Di antaranya, terhadap golongan Tionghoa tidak bisa menggugat ataupun digugat secara perdata di pengadilan negeri. Hal itu disebabkan hukum yang berlaku, baik dalam arti materiil berdasarkan Burgerlijk Wetboek (hukum yang dipakai dalam bersidang), maupun dalam arti formal berdasarkan Reglemen Acara Perdata (prosedur bersidang), juga sudah dinyatakan tidak berlaku untuk golongan Tionghoa berdasarkan Pasal 106 C tersebut.

Demikian juga halnya terhadap kongsi, kepailitan, dan hukum dagang (di antaranya cek, asuransi dan perkapalan, di antaranya penyewaan kapal maupun penjaminan kapal untuk mendapatkan utang). Adopsi juga menjadi terlarang. Ini kekosongan hukum yang serius.

Golongan pribumi Kristen, kekeliruannya mirip terjadi pada golongan Tionghoa. Pada Pasal 106 butir E juga terdapat ketidaksesuaian arti antara teks bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Belanda. Teks bahasa Belanda menyebutkan Staatsblad 1933: 74 sebagai Huwelijksordonnantie Voor Christen-Indonesiers Java, Minahasa en Amboiena, artinya Ordonansi Perkawinan Orang-Orang Indonesia Kristen di Jawa, Minahasa, dan Ambon.

Jadi, berbeda dengan teks bahasa Indonesia yang menyebutkan Peraturan Catatan Sipil untuk Golongan Kristen Indonesia. Perkawinan hanyalah salah satu dari urusan catatan sipil. Bukan sebaliknya. Lagi pula, sepanjang mengenai perkawinan, aturan 1933: 74 itu sudah dicabut oleh Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan pada Pasal 66.

Selanjutnya, pada setiap akta kelahiran untuk golongan ini disebutkan dasar hukumnya Staatsblad 1933: 75 (berikut perubahannya) dengan judul asli Reglement Burger-lijke Stand Christen-Indonesier, diterjemahkan sebagai Reglemen Catatan Sipil untuk Orang Indonesia Kristen. Dengan kata lain, Peraturan Catatan Sipil untuk Golongan Kristen Indonesia. Peraturan inilah yang seharusnya dicabut.

Kekeliruan itu mengundang tanda tanya dan patut dicermati. Sulit dimengerti terjadi kesalahan untuk sesuatu yang sudah sangat dikenal. Staatsblaad 1917: 130 untuk golongan Tionghoa dan Staatsblad 1933: 75 untuk golongan pribumi Kristen itu selalu disebutkan sebagai dasar hukum dalam berbagai produk hukum di seluruh Indonesia mengenai pencatatan sipil, termasuk di era Or- de Baru dan setelah itu. Termasuk juga, puluhan perda.

Catatan itu hanyalah sebagian dari berbagai masalah pada UU Adminduk. Sangat disayangkan apabila pembuat UU Adminduk dengan sengaja tidak mencabut semua ketentuan kolonial mengenai pencatatan sipil. Berarti, terdapat kebijakan memisahkan golongan minoritas dan mengintai keberadaan mereka.

Kelalaian ataukah kesengajaan, hal itu harus segera diperbaiki. Memang betul, kecuali untuk adopsi, aturan penundukan diri (onderwerpen) masih berlaku. Tetapi, mengingat hal itu menyangkut nasib pencatatan jutaan orang di negeri ini, juga nasib persatuan dan kesatuan Indonesia, serta kekosongan hukum, prosedur perbaikannya sangat panjang dan rumit karena harus dilakukan oleh undang-undang baru.

Secara legal UU ini dapat dikatakan "Cacat Hukum" sebab yang harus dicabut sebenarnya adalah Staatsblad 1917: 130, tetapi UU ini mencabut Staatsblad 1917: 129 untuk warga Indonesia keturunan Tionghoa. Sedangkan untuk warga Indonesia Kristen seharusnya yang dicabut adalah Staatsblad 1933: 75, bukan Staatsblad 1933: 74.

Saya sengaja mengangkat kasus ini untuk menunjukkan bahwa kualitas anggota DPR dan pemerintah dalam membuat sebuah UU masih payah. Banyak UU saat ini yang secara legal nggak dapat dipertanggung-jawabkan dan tumpang-tindih satu sama lain (seperti misalnya UU Penanaman Modal).

Jika ngak ada perbaikan kualitas para pihak pembuat UU, saya takut makin banyak UU yang dihasilkan oleh DPR dan Pemerintah, maka akan makin kacau perkembangan hukum di Indonesia nantinya.

^^salah cabut gigi. yang lubang geraham kanan (Stbld 1917:130, tentang pencatatan sipil), yang dicabut geraham kiri (Stbld 1917:129, tentang pemberlakuan hukum perdata). ya kalo udah dicabut otomatis giginya ga bisa dipake ngunyah biarpun sebetulnya sehat, sementara gigi yang lubang tetep bikin sakit.
heran juga kenapa ga ada permintaan judicial review ke Mahkamah Konstitusi untuk UU ini, terutama dari golongan yang dirugikan. kalo ngarepin pemerintah sih ga mungkinlah, paling mereka tunggu sampe ada orang dari golongan Tionghoa (Bob Hasan, misalnya) terhindar dari gugatan perdata (pengembalian uang korupsi, misalnya) karena hukumnya ga berlaku untuk dia. klo udah gitu baru deh pemerintah kebakaran jenggot, trus tuding2an sama DPR. kita liat ntar, bener ga ramalan gw ini.

Never in Indonesian history a leader would say that about his own countrymen.....

Remember the Racial Riot??!!....You malays would only hide, where it was the Indonesian workers who stood up.....for YOUR race!! And your government lied, telling the media only a few died, where there were actually in the hundreds......Shameful i see......
