It isexpected that in 2016 it will have run,”said Rini.He explained that Telkom’s stepin inving Sing Tel for e-Governmentmarket was accurate, since it alreadyhad more advanced experience intechnological implementation and it’squality has been tested.“We learn from what they do, wejust adjust with Indonesia’s needslater on. Joint venture’s compostitionis 60 percent for Telkom and 40percent for Sing Tel. I hope Telkom willimmediately realize this. If there’s anyissue with licenses at the ministry, Iwill help immediately,” he said. He alsoexpects that Telkom can be a globalcompany in its in ernational businessservice development. This has seen inthe past seven years.

Telin hasmade data center and this is the third,”he said in a fasting break event in herhome office in Jakarta.She is certain that cooperationbetween Telkom and SingTel has nothingto do with the state confidentiality.She hopes that such cooperation canbe better. “Since the previous businesswas good, therefore [we] make the nextcooperation. This cooperation is in theevent of providing data managementgranting,” she said trying to persuade.Together DeclineTelkom-Singtel CooperationThe opening of Telkom datacenter in singapore invitesclaim. Moreover further Telkomcooperated with with SingaporeTelecom (Singtel) to establish a newbusiness here to work on governmentservices electronically (e-government).Telkom’s step is concerned to threatenthe state’s confidentiality which cangive impact to Minister of State OwnedEnterprises (BUMN), Rini Soemarmo.Rini is reported to Criminal InvestigationBody of Indonesian Police Headquarter.It was Indonesia Club nonorganizational institution which reportedsuch Minister of BUMN. As explainedby Director of Indonesia Club, GigihGuntoro, cooperation between Telkomand Singtel to place e-governmentData in singapore is considered asthreatening the state’s confidentiality.In addition to reporting to CriminalInvestigation Body, Gigih Guntoro askedPresident Joko widodo to immediatelydischarge Rini from Working Cabinet.According to Gigih, Rini is consideredas violating Law Number 17 or 2011regarding The State’s Intelligence. Riniis accused this way because she hascooperated with a private companyin developing data bank center inSingapore. “State Intelligence Law whichexplains that whoever sell the state’sconfidentiality will be imprisoned for 7years,” he said.“The government data placementshould have been locally, protectedby the state’s maximum security.

This PKS politician saidthat e-government project is datacollecting owned by the governmentthat supposed to be treated withmaximum security and cannot betreated randomly. “I thin Indoneasiancompanies are capable [we] don’tneed to cooperate with foreigners.E-government issue is better andmore secured if just using localcompanies,” said Mahfudz.The House of Representativesthat heads Defense and SecurityCT11 <strong>Majalah</strong> I No. 35• June <strong>2015</strong>also conveyed that the concernsof members of the House ofRepresentatives on this governmentdata security have been conveyedimmediately to head of The Head ofState Intelligence Board LeutenantGeneral (retired) Marciano inthe Hearing of Commission 1 ofthe House of Representatives.Marciano stated that the securityof e-government cooperation issueindeed must be taken into accountseriously on the security of suchdata from foreigners. “This willbe take into account by all policymakers,” he said.As we all know, this earlyJune Telkom started data centerdevelopment taking an areaor 20 thousand square meterswith investment value of 115million dollar or approximatelyIDR1.5 trillion. The amount ofthis investment value attractedIndonesian Forum for BudgetTransparency (Fitra)’s attention.Advocation and InvestigationCoordinator of Fitra, Apung Widadiconsiders that there ‘game’indication in such Telkom Singtelcooperation. Fitra even bluntlyaccused the such project relatedto data center development ande-government management containsstrong indication of curruptionconducted by Minister of BUMN Rini.Therefore Fitra asked CorruptionEradication Commission (KPK) tobe involved and investigate suchcooperation between Telkom andSingtel. “Alleged corruption isvery strong. Therefore KPK mustimmediately be involved,” saidApung in Jakarta.In addition, he said that as theimpact of Telkom and SingTelcooperation, it concerned that thestate defense is threatenend. The

Indonesia Club alleged thatthere is something hidden in theclarification of this cooperationproject both by Rini and TelkomBoard of Directors.“Telkom-Singtel cooperation andTelin 3 data center developmentwhich are said to have nothing todo with e-government in Indonesiamust be guarded by the House ofRepresentatives in a written form.There is something hidden on theclarification of this cooperationproject both by Rini and TelkomBoard of Directors. The suddenlydenied that the Development ofTelin Singapore Data Center andTelecommunication Hub (Telin3) donot have any relation with Indonesiae-government,” he assured.Gigih said that if there is norelation with Indonesia, why doSingaporean authority always infavor of Telin in working on thedevelopment of Data Center inJurong with a capacity of 20thousand to target premium classof companies in Singapore and inthe world. Gigih said that fromHuman Resources point of viewand technology there are manySingaporean companies that havefar more advanced capacity thanTelin. It becomes a question whySingaporean authority trust Telin,which just came into the picture in2007, more to manage data center.“It is strongly alleged thatTelin is provided with data centerdevelopment project in Jurong witha compensation that Singtel willwork on e-government service inIndonesia,” he said.According to him, both largeprojects are a strategic step tosmoothen the way for Singaporeto control information technologybusiness and pray on Telkom slowly.Singapore is known to be ambitiousin controlling information technologyin ASEAN areas with the opening ofASEAN Economic Society at the endof this year.<strong>Majalah</strong> <strong>ICT</strong>No. 35• June <strong>2015</strong>312
