In Indonesia, Civil Servants (PNS) is one element of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). Since the enactment of Law Number 5 of 2014, ASN employees consist of two types, namely civil servants who are appointed as permanent employees and Government Employees with Working Agreements (PPPK) who are appointed according to the needs of government agencies.

As of June 30 2021, the number of civil servants in Indonesia was 4,081,824 people, consisting of 2,143,065 women (53%) and 1,938,759 men (47%). As many as 77% of them work in regional government agencies, while the remaining 23% work in central government agencies. Around 11% hold structural positions, 51% hold functional positions, and 38% hold executive positions. The number of civil servants in Indonesia has continued to decline since 2016.[2]

History

edit

Before independence

edit

During the Dutch occupation, the establishment of the Hoofden School (school for leaders) between 1865 and 1878 marked the beginning of education for civil servants (PNS) in Indonesia (formerly called ambtenaar). In 1900, the colonial government changed Hoofden School to Opleiding School Voor Inlandsche Ambtenaren (OSVIA) or Bumiputera Employee Education School to produce people who could carry out bureaucratic work. In 1927, OSVIA changed to Middelbaar Opleiden Schoolen voor Indische Ambtenaren (MOSVIA) which accepted MULO graduates. After graduating, students were placed in the civil services. Around 1900, native civil servants about 1,500 people. In 1932, the number increased to 103 thousand, including 17 thousand Dutch employees. The first person registered as a civil servant was Hamengkubuwana IX with employee registration number 010000001 as stated on his civil servant card issued by the State Civil Service Administration Agency on November 1 1974. On the card it was written that Hamengkubuwana IX had been an employee since 1940.[3]

Old Order and New Order

edit

After the Indonesia independence, Chairman of the Central Indonesian National Committee (KNIP) Kasman Singodimedjo stated that President Soekarno decided that Indonesian employees from all positions and levels were designated as employees of the Republic of Indonesia. However, the changing constitution at that time causing the country's situation becoming unstable. The government then issued Law Number 18 of 1961 concerning Basic Civil Service Provisions as the legal basis for regulating civil servants.[4]

During the New Order, Soeharto formed an servant organization, namely the Republic of Indonesia Civil Service Corps (Korpri) through Presidential Decree Number 82 of 1971. According to this regulation, employees of the Republic of Indonesia are government officials consisting of civil servants as intended in Law Number 18 of 1961, public company employees (Perum), civil service company employees (Perdjan), regional employees, state-owned bank employees, as well as officials or officers who carry out government affairs in the village. Korpri was considered a political tool during the New Order era, which was supplemented by the publication of Government Regulation Number 20 of 1976 concerning Membership of Civil Servants in Political Parties or Work Groups.[5][6]

In 1974, Law Number 18 of 1961 was revoked and replaced with Law Number 8 of 1974 concerning Personnel Principles. In this law, civil servants consist of civil servants and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Indonesia (ABRI). Civil servants themselves are divided into central civil servants, regional civil servants and other civil servants determined by government regulations.[7]

Reformation

edit

In the Reformation era, Law Number 43 of 1999 was issued which changed the Law Number 8 of 1974. In this Law, civil servants consisted of civil servants, members of the Indonesian National Army, and members of the Indonesian National Police. Fifteen years later, Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning State Civil Apparatus was issued. In this law, civil servants in the context of the Indonesian government are changed into State Civil Apparatus (ASN), which consists of Civil Servants (PNS) and Government Employees with Working Agreements (PPPK). Then on October 31 2023, the government enacted Law (UU) Number 20 of 2023 concerning the State Civil Apparatus to add the following main regulatory points regarding the State Civil Apparatus:[8]

  1. Strengthening supervision of the Merit System.
  2. Determining the needs of Civil Servants (PNS) and Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK).
  3. Welfare of civil servants and PPPK.
  4. Arrangement of honorary staff.
  5. Digitalization of ASN Management.

Civil Servants and practical politics

edit

During the New Order, Civil Servants were politicized through monoloyalty towards Golkar, which made Civil Servants from being servants of the community to servants of the ruler. Formally, civil servants are not forced to become members and vote for Golkar in general elections, but in reality they are mobilized to win Golkar. In practice, the policy of civil servants' monoloyalty to the government was distorted into sole loyalty to Golkar.

After the 1998 Reformation, there was a change in the government paradigm. Civil servants, previously known as tools of government power, are now expected to become elements of the state apparatus that are professional and neutral from the influence of all groups from political parties (for example, using state facilities for certain groups) and non-discriminatory in providing services to the community. To ensure this neutrality, civil servants are prohibited from becoming members or administrators of political parties. Civil servants have the right to vote in elections, while members of the TNI or Polri do not have the right to vote or be elected in elections.

Based on PP Number 5 of 1999 concerning Civil Servants who are members of political parties in conjunction with PP Number 12 of 1999. Some of the main points in the PP are:

  • As state officials, state servants and public servants in administering government and development, Civil Servants must act neutrally and avoid using state facilities for certain groups. Apart from that, they are also required to be non-discriminatory, especially in providing services to the community.
  • Civil servants who have been members or administrators of political parties at the time this PP was adopted are deemed to have relinquished their membership and/or management (deleted automatically).
  • Civil servants who do not report their membership and/or management in a political party will be dishonorably dismissed as civil servants.
  • Civil servants who wish to become members or administrators of political parties must submit an application to their immediate superior (implementing regulations issued by the State Civil Service Agency).
  • Civil servants who apply to become members/administrators of political parties are given a one year waiting fee. If within one year you still want to be a member or administrator of a political party, then the person concerned will be honorably dismissed and receive pension rights for those who have reached the Retirement Age Limit (BUP).

Emphasizing the ban on politics

edit

In this reform era, the prohibition on civil servants from engaging in politics is emphasized in article 255 of the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia no. 11 of 2017 concerning Civil Servant Management:

  1. Civil servants are prohibited from becoming members and/or administrators of political parties.
  2. Civil servants who are members and/or administrators of political parties are required to resign in writing.
  3. Civil servants who resign as intended in paragraph (2) are honorably dismissed as civil servants starting from the end of the month of resignation of the civil servant concerned.
  4. Civil servants who violate the prohibition as intended in paragraph (1) will be dishonorably dismissed as civil servants.
  5. Civil servants who are members and/or administrators of political parties are dishonorably dismissed as civil servants as intended in paragraph (4) starting from the end of the month the civil servant concerned becomes a member and/or administrator of a political party.
