        "content": "<p>Member of the House of Representatives\u2019 Second Commission, Ahmad\nHeryawan, has praised the Directorate General of Population and Civil\nRegistration (Dukcapil) for urging all government and private\ninstitutions to cease photocopying electronic identity cards (E-KTP) in\nadministrative services. The man commonly known as Aher described the\ndirective as a crucial step to strengthen personal data protection,\nwhile also accelerating the shift towards safer, modern, and efficient\ndigital public services. \u201cThis Dukcapil move is timely as personal data\nprotection must be a top priority in the digital age. Photocopying E-KTP\nhas long posed significant risks of misuse if not handled securely,\u201d\nAher stated in a written release on Sunday (31 May). Previously,\nDukcapil Director General Teguh Setyabudi explained that E-KTP cards are\nequipped with an electronic data chip designed to be read by card\nreaders, ensuring secure personal data and accurate identity\nverification. This system transformation is being driven through\ninter-ministerial collaboration to shift all public service ecosystems\nto automatic digital data integration. The use of this technology is a\nkey part of the country\u2019s bureaucratic reform. \u201cPublic services must\nmove towards automatic digital data integration so citizens are no\nlonger burdened by repeatedly submitting administrative documents.\nTherefore, the state must provide simple, secure, and integrated\nsystems,\u201d said the Chairman of the DPR\u2019s People\u2019s Aspiration Body (BAM).\nThe former two-term West Java governor voiced support for\ninter-ministerial and institutional collaboration to responsibly manage\npopulation data in line with national cyber security principles. Data\nintegration is expected to enhance public service efficiency and reduce\ndata breach risks. Aher urged all institutions\u2014from banking and\nhealthcare to education and the private sector\u2014to promptly adjust their\nservice systems to comply with Dukcapil\u2019s new policy. \u201cPopulation\nadministration digitisation must be accompanied by strengthened system\nsecurity and education for all service institutions to ensure the\ntransformation is effective and trusted by the public. With integrated\nand secure systems, citizens will receive faster, easier, and protected\nservices,\u201d Aher concluded. (Faj\/P-3)<\/p>",
