Rega Felix and His Wife Revise Petition of BUMN Judicial Review Regarding Danantara

For information, Rega Felix is ​​the husband of Metha Maranita. Rega and Metha both filed a petition for judicial review of the BUMN Law against the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia but in different cases. Rega filed the petition in Case No. 38/PUU-XXIII/2025.

Metha challenges Article 4B, Article 9G, Article 87 paragraph (5) of the BUMN Law, Elucidation of Article 4B, and Elucidation of Article 9G of Law No. 1 of 2025 which are considered to be in conflict with Article 28H paragraph (1) and Article 33 paragraph (2) of the 1945 NRI Constitution. Both cases essentially question the existence of norms that separate the losses of the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara) and BUMN losses as state losses. According to the Petitioners, not categorizing the losses experienced by Danantara as state losses is contrary to the spirit of eradicating corruption which is a constitutional mandate.

The norms reviewed by the Petitioner include, Article 3H paragraph (2) of the BUMN Law: “Profits or losses experienced by the Agency in carrying out investments as referred to in paragraph (1) are profits or losses of the Agency”; Article 3X paragraph (1) of the BUMN Law: “The Agency’s organs and employees are not state administrators”; Article 4B of the BUMN Law: “Profits or losses experienced by BUMN are profits or losses of BUMN”; Article 9G of the BUMN Law: “Members of the Board of Directors, Board of Commissioners, and Supervisory Board of BUMN are not state administrators”; and Article 87 paragraph (5) of the BUMN Law: “BUMN employees as referred to in paragraph (2) are not state administrators.”

In her petitum, the Petitioner in Case No. 39/PUU-XXIII/2025 requested the Court to declare Article 4B of Law No.1 of 2025 is contrary to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and does not have legally binding force as long as it is not interpreted as "Profits or losses experienced by BUMN are profits or losses of BUMN and are part of state losses"; The Petitioner also requested to the Court to declare the word "not" in Article 9G, and Article 87 paragraph (5) of Law No.1 of 2025 are contrary to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and do not have legally binding force.

Both hearings of the cases were previously also held simultaneously by the Panel of Justices presided over by Constitutional Justice Arief Hidayat accompanied by Constitutional Justice Enny Nurbaningsih and Constitutional Justice Daniel Yusmic P Foekh. (*)
