BP Batam held a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) titled “Evaluating KIP 2023 Results and Preparing for KIP 2024” at the Radisson Hotel, Medan on Tuesday, May 6, 2024.
The Focus Group Discussion (FGD) brought together distinguished speakers, including Arya Sandhiyuda, Vice Chairman of the Central Information Commission, and Fathul Ulum, Senior Expert at the Central Information Commission. Additionally, Public Information and Documentation Officers (PPID) from 24 BP Batam units participated.
Wahjoe Triwidijo Koentjoro, Head of Administration and Finance and PPID Supervisor, opened the FGD, emphasizing BP Batam’s commitment to continuous innovation in managing public information services. Despite earning an informative rating from the Central Information Commission for the past four years, Wahjoe believes there’s room to enhance understanding of KIP implementation processes.
“To maintain and refine KIP, PPID BP Batam is gaining insights from competent speakers today,” Wahjoe stated, aiming to further improve public information disclosure, thus fostering public trust and making Batam a competitive investment destination.
Wahjoe added, “This FGD is expected to add value to the organization, helping build public trust through transparent information, following applicable guidelines.”
Vice Chairman Arya Sandhiyuda praised BP Batam’s efforts to implement the Public Information Disclosure Law (UU KIP 2008). He emphasized the need for public institutions to create their unique formula for executing the law.

“The most important thing is for BP Batam to find its own way of fulfilling UU KIP with related PERKI (Central Information Commission Regulation), making the process soulful and beneficial for all,” Arya said.
Arya highlighted the importance of developing specific formulas like a “consequence test” or an “information exclusion list,” hoping PPID BP Batam could set an example for other government agencies in managing public information disclosure. “I hope BP Batam not only leads in public information disclosure but also uses it to achieve their outlined agenda,” Arya concluded.
This FGD represents BP Batam’s ongoing commitment to transparency and public trust, further solidifying Batam’s attractiveness as an investment destination. For Singaporean and international visitors, BP Batam’s dedication to openness ensures a robust, competitive environment favorable for business ventures.
