The Indonesian government submitted the draft of the Criminal Code (RKUHP) to the House of Representatives (DPR) on July 6, 2022.

However, according to a survey by Kompas Research and Development (Litbang Kompas), 17.6% of respondents disagreed with the ratification of the RKUHP.

Among those who disagreed, 70.7% considered the RKUHP to still contain problematic or "obstructive" articles.

Some examples of articles considered problematic are those concerning insults against the president and vice president (Article 218), insults against the government (Articles 240, 241), and the prohibition of incitement against public authority (Articles 246-248).

"The definition of the criminal acts in these articles is still ambiguous, making them prone to criminalization," according to the Kompas Research and Development survey report published by *Kompas.id* on Monday, July 11, 2022.

Furthermore, 12.4% disagreed with the ratification of the RKUHP because they felt uninvolved, while 7.8% disagreed because the RKUHP had previously faced widespread rejection.

A further 0.3% of respondents cited other reasons, and 8.8% did not know.

This survey was conducted from June 25-28, 2022, involving 504 respondents aged 17 and above from 34 Indonesian provinces. The sample was determined randomly with a 95% confidence level and a margin of error of approximately 4.37%.
